Forecasts

Takteek (7/2), Weegeebear (9/2), Hickton (11/2), Queen Sansa (13/2), Heartened (8/1), Grizzieblanca (8/1), Zaeim Alharb (9/1), Aoife's Thunder (9/1), Hamdani Cruiser (11/1), In The Sunshine (16/1), Ring Fenced (20/1), My Brother Mike (22/1)

HICKTON deservedly got his head in front at Hamilton recently and, armed with a good attitude, he looks capable of following up off this 3 lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out winner Weegeebear should have a significant role to play, while My Brother Mike and Takteek both make some each-way appeal.
