Forecasts

Forever Field (4/6), Midnight Shot (5/4), General Bux (12/1), Touch Screen (50/1), The Crazy Crab (100/1)

The form of the Kempton race in which FOREVER FIELD made his debut is working out particularly well and he looks much the most likely winner for his top trainer, who does not have that many runners at this track. Midnight Shot jumped well to win on his debut over C&D and should not be underestimated, while Touch Screen looks the most likely contender for the minor honours.
