Forecasts

Tickling (5/2), Whats New (11/4), Nancee Spain (11/2), Highway Sixty One (13/2), Highland Harvey (8/1), Searcog (10/1), Sottsands (12/1), Oranzona (16/1), Real Petite (16/1), Bella Boyne (16/1), Idomything (20/1), Wasittheway (20/1), Sporting Aclaim (28/1), Angel Harry (28/1)

A number of these come here with questions to answer so this looks a good opportunity for WHATS NEW to build on a series of good efforts and gain his breakthrough victory. Highway Sixty One recorded a solid fourth at Tramore on the back of being gelded and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Tickling and Searcog.
