Forecasts

Now Ben (6/4), Crazy Jack (3/1), Qrackers (13/2), Brody Bleu (8/1), Abbeyview (9/1), Beggar's Velvet (11/1), Return Spring (11/1), Tugboat (14/1), Oh Toodles (20/1), Anglingforcharlie (25/1), Fishing Bridge (33/1), Mr Moss (33/1)

We are unlikely to see more than a handful of these in with serious chances come the business end and the suggestion is CRAZY JACK, who likes the forecast ground and will appreciate the return to this trip. The veteran Qrackers came back to form last time and could prove to be a danger, while Abbeyview and Brody Bleu look likely to be thereabouts.
