Forecasts

Hunky Dory (6/4), True Promise (9/2), Yaaser (5/1), El Bufalo (11/2), Fiscal Policy (15/2), Your Love (10/1), Em Four (11/1), Invincible Speed (16/1), Orbital Chime (18/1)

EL BUFALO confirmed the promise of recent placed efforts when resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and could well be up to following up turned out quickly. Yaaser is up 2 lb for his recent Newcastle success and can't be ruled out, with Hunky Dory and True Promise also arriving in good form.
