Forecasts

Keep Me Stable (9/2), Bicep (5/1), Ahamoment (13/2), Streak Lightning (8/1), Tiger Trap (9/1), Novak (9/1), King's Crown (10/1), Secret Road (11/1), Saisons D'Or (12/1), Captain Cuddles (12/1), Original Thinker (20/1), Theotherside (20/1), Greenwich (28/1)

KEEP ME STABLE travelled with real purpose when recording C&D win number 3 under talented claimer Tommie Jakes a week ago and there's no real desire to look elsewhere. Bicep and Novak seem likely to give their running so are perhaps the pick of the opposition.
