Forecasts

Freak Encounter (2/1), Ignition (11/4), No Release (7/2), Perfect Parole (15/2), Eva's Eyes (8/1), Jimmy Henry (12/1), Cuda Been A Rowlex (28/1), Bird About Town (33/1), No Gain (80/1)

Verdict

FREAK ENCOUTNER did too much too soon last time and can show he's still on a favourable mark. Perfect Parole is quite closely matched with the selection on Lingfield form in the middle of last month and is second choice ahead of No Release.

  1. Freak Encounter2/1
  2. Perfect Parole15/2
  3. No Release7/2
