Forecasts

Tomahawk Wood (2/1), Simmply Sam (3/1), Cruachan (6/1), Andhaar (7/1), Hurricane Rita (15/2), Christmas In Usa (16/1), What A Dream (20/1)

A poor contest where is not easy to make a case out for many and SIMMPLY SAM can at least be relied on to run her race, which could be good enough to defy a career high mark with forecast conditions to suit. Tomahawk Wood looks a potential danger, while Andhaar might complete the frame.
