Forecasts

Drakeholes (9/4), Operation Gimcrack (11/4), Commander Crouch (3/1), Tickets (7/2), Jkr Cobbler (4/1), Concert Boy (11/1), Sky Lagoon (66/1), Rajawail (200/1)

JKR COBBLER confirmed the encouragement of previous efforts when scoring in good style over C&D last time and he's worth a chance to go in again under a penalty. Drakeholes and Tickets look the main dangers but both face a quick turnaround.
