Forecasts

Equity Law (10/3), High Opinion (9/2), Dothan (9/2), Birkenhead (6/1), Protest Rally (13/2), Zarzyni (15/2), Ready Freddie Go (11/1), Call To Action (20/1), Wrestling Revenue (25/1)

A tight-knit sprint in which PROTEST RALLY is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good Pontefract third (form been franked). In-form C&D scorer High Opinion is next on the list with Zarzyni, Call To Action and Birkenhead all in the picture too. Wrestling Revenue completes the shortlist.
