Forecasts

Time Patrol (5/2), Nordic Glory (3/1), Sisters In The Sky (5/1), Poetic Jack (11/2), Sassy Redhead (6/1), Mashaan (8/1), Global Effort (10/1), We're Reunited (11/1), Miss Moonshine (12/1), Banana (33/1), Balmy Breese (33/1), Haveagobeau (100/1)

TIME PATROL is taken to gain reward for a string of good in-frame efforts this autumn/winter. Nordic Glory was in similarly good form himself when last seen in mid-September and will be a threat if fully primed after 3 months off. We're Reunited also makes the shortlist after a good second at Wolverhampton last month.
