Forecasts

Spartan Fighter (2/1), Penny Mountain (4/1), Yorkshire Glory (9/2), Court Of Session (13/2), Fircombe Hall (13/2), Flash The Dash (8/1), She'sashambles (14/1), Pinpoint (50/1)

COURT OF SESSION bounced back to form when runner-up at Southwell last week and is fancied to end a long losing run with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle. Spartan Fighter and Yorkshire Glory arrive in good nick and head up the opposition.
