Forecasts

Bold Fury (6/4), My Life Be Like (2/1), Suttons Hill (7/1), Sampoet (8/1), Justlikejessejames (17/2), Ballyedward (12/1), Kings Jet (18/1), Barton Sky (20/1)

MY LIFE BE LIKE has been cleaning up in points and can give David Christie another win in this maiden hunter. Bold Fury is the obvious danger after splitting a good pair here 7 weeks ago.
