Forecasts

Grey Owl (15/8), Wannabeawallaby (2/1), Fram Castle (8/1), Scylla (17/2), Fullforward (11/1), Breccia (14/1), Two Plus Two (16/1), Thunder Sparks (25/1), Regally Blonde (50/1), Ray's The One (50/1)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for WANNABEAWALLABY to build on his resurgent Bath second and get off the mark. The returning Grey Owl figures on a lenient mark and could emerge as the chief threat, although Ray's The One and Fram Castle also need factoring in.
