Forecasts

Cakewalk (4/1), Born A Rebel (9/2), Switchel (11/2), Arenas Del Tiempo (11/2), Palazzo Persico (13/2), Jenson Benson (13/2), Renesmee (17/2), Mc'ted (25/1), Fibonacci Sequence (28/1)

JENSON BENSON has registered all of his career wins at this venue, and from a handy mark with Jason Hart in the saddle, he has plenty to recommend him. Switchel seems very likely to give it a good go unless the removal of a hood has a negative effect, with Renesmee also of interest.
