Forecasts

Eeetee (11/4), Keats House (10/3), Anjo Bonita (7/2), Louie The Legend (7/2), Lovette (9/1), Arkenstaar (9/1), Project Geofin (11/1), Testimonial (11/1), Super Hit (14/1), She's Got Bottle (25/1), Bazball (50/1)

EEETEE escapes a penalty for last Sunday's Redcar success under Jack Nicholls and should take a bit of stopping if showing up in similar form. Arkenstaar is starting to look dangerously well treated and could revive with the Michael Dods team in form. Louie The Legend is also respected on the back of a recent Nottingham win.
