Forecasts

Time Tested (15/8), Come On You Spurs (5/2), Forever Noah (3/1), Snooker McCrew (11/2), Loose Tongue (12/1), Lightning Bay (16/1), Asian Tide (33/1), Explosively (33/1), Run Joy Run (66/1), Northstead Gardens (80/1), Little White Dove (80/1), Sheila Tequila (150/1)

COME ON YOU SPURS was too free at Newmarket last time but she'd been firmly on the up prior to that and she's worth a chance to resume progress. Time Tested has more to come and Forever Noah is unlikely to have reached his limit.
