Forecasts

Tuba (13/8), Coup D'etat (3/1), Day Trader (7/2), Penny Express (9/2), North Winterfell (12/1), The Happy Huntsman (20/1), Brandyandportpaddy (28/1), Move It On Over (40/1), Annilogs Force (50/1), Grove Gardens (50/1), Rinnaseer Dream (50/1), Sunrise Strider (50/1), Damoso (50/1), Niigata (80/1), Heslostthehunger (80/1), Cad Is Anam (100/1), Three County Star (125/1)

DAY TRADER must cast aside a disappointing effort last time but his runner-up at Down Royal prior to that sets a pretty good standard. Penny Express is a likely improver for Gordon Elliott with, Flat recruits North Winterfell and Tuba also of some interest.
