Forecasts

Nikki Swango (9/4), Hell Left Loose (5/2), Una Matata (7/2), Bucky Larson (4/1), Eric Lock (10/1), Lorr's Girl (10/1), Heart Of Darkness (12/1), Eagles Whistle (12/1), Run Forrest Run (14/1), Showhound (14/1), Haughty (16/1), Storm Eric (40/1), Reponse Finale (50/1), Hezahunk (50/1), Parnu (125/1)

Adrian McGuinness has a couple of interesting contenders in HEART OF DARKNESS and Nikki Swango. The former drops in class back at the scene of her sole win so is marginally preferred. Of the rest, Eric Look can remain competitive.
