Forecasts

The Mediator (8/11), Complete Fiction (9/2), Breaking Silence (6/1), Faceman (7/1), Goody Four Shoes (16/1), Another Glendaars (18/1), Scarlet Purse (33/1), Fire Force (50/1), Nugentstown Sue (66/1), Lea Lass (80/1), Naughty Aimee (125/1), Hesthebeesknees (125/1), Nancy Miles (150/1)

It's taken a while for connection to get point winner BREAKING SILENCE back to the track but this is a race really lacking in depth so in the hope the market vibes are positive, she's selected. The Mediator isn't straightforward but is sure to be in the thick of it, with Faceman another to note on hurdles debut.
