Forecasts

Pistol Pete (11/10), Nettleton (11/2), Taxi To The Moon (11/2), Dantonfromsandton (17/2), Ice Star (17/2), Magic Tattoo (14/1), Time Fo Orchids (18/1), Sheldon (22/1), Mover And Shaker (40/1)

Verdict

PISTOL PETE was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but still makes most appeal of these. Sheldon is marginally preferred for second, while Nettleton also merits respect.
