Forecasts

Down To The Kid (13/8), Forever Proud (7/2), Timetobenice (4/1), Jez Bomb (9/2), Tasmanian Legend (11/2), Vixey (7/1), Light Up Our Stars (10/1), Jack Daniel (28/1)

TIMETOBENICE has edged down to an attractive mark and, granted a bit of luck, he could be the answer. Down To The Kid and Jez Bomb are others who could have a part to play.
