Forecasts

Little Tiger (1/2), Fighting Poet (5/1), Chourmo (15/2), Fullforward (8/1), Irezumi (12/1), Ricardo Phillips (40/1), Cresta Cat (66/1), Sheila Tequila (80/1), Dubai Immo (100/1)

LITTLE TIGER ran out a comfortable victor over C&D last week and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from bagging a third success of 2024. Chourmo is always to be feared round here and is next on the list with course scorers Fullforward and Fighting Poet also shortlisted.
