Forecasts

Scott Lang (11/4), Jawhary (10/3), Chopsticks (5/1), Waystar (11/2), Just Another Eagle (6/1), Obama Army (6/1), Billie Frechette (9/1), Wishes And Dreams (10/1), Maxwell Smart (12/1), A Daughtersdelight (20/1), Figurehead (33/1), Churchill Rose (33/1), Brackloon Bay (66/1), Audscar (100/1), Sliogan (125/1)

This could go the way of SCOTT LANG who signalled he is ready to end a losing sequence when a good runner-up over C&D last time out and can race off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Obama Army is next on the list on the back of his good recent third here with Waystar, Chopsticks and Wishes And Dreams also worthy of consideration.
