Forecasts

Ice In The Veins (5/6), Coastal Command (4/1), Gaelic Glow (9/2), Lyrical Choice (13/2), Mini Mario (22/1), Benjimun Bunnie (25/1), Silver Gale (28/1), Paddy The Baddy (66/1), Fanny Moon (80/1), Colour Clash (200/1)

There was a lot to like about the performance of ICE IN THE VEINS at Warwick last month and he should take a bit of stopping unless the betting vibes are notably strong surrounding Nicky Henderson newcomer Coastal Command. Gaelic Glow displayed promise on his Uttoxeter debut and completes the shortlist.
