Forecasts

Triggerman (10/3), Inspiring Speeches (10/3), Alex Belardo (4/1), Queens Road Revue (6/1), Union Island (8/1), Highland Olly (17/2), War Memorial (10/1), Veracidad (33/1), Doodlebug (66/1)

WAR MEMORIAL failed to justify market support over 1m at Ripon 3 weeks ago but this track/trip should be more suitable so he's taken to get it right this time. Queens Road Revue is a solid proposition at this level and is second choice, ahead of Triggerman eased in grade.
