Forecasts

Alice's Impact (5/2), Rain Cap (3/1), Miss Calculation (4/1), Clotherholme (9/2), Fanzone (9/2), Elettaria (6/1), Going Underground (13/2), Filey Beach (20/1), Dodgy Bob (33/1), Too Much Too Young (40/1), Yaahobby (40/1)

RAIN CAP stumbled early when below form last time but he has an excellent course record overall and, with the headgear changed again, he's worth chancing. Alice's Impact is going the right way and looks the main threat, while Elettaria can make her presence felt if they go hard up front.
