Forecasts

Grey Operations (5/2), Sole Spirit (3/1), Early Release (11/2), Causin A Commotion (13/2), Black Sky (9/1), Ignition (12/1), Go Steelers Go (16/1), Ballsgrove Boy (25/1), Risk (28/1), Almasi (33/1), Camden Flyer (33/1), Rumba Bay (33/1)

CAUSIN A COMMOTION justified heavy market support at Wolverhampton and a 2 lb rise may not stop him given he shapes as if he'll prove as least as effective back at 6f. Black Sky caught the eye a bit last time and is second choice ahead of Edward Smyth-Osbourne's new recruit Ignition.
