Forecasts

What A Game (10/3), Turtle Cask (9/2), Overtheedge (9/2), Tuscan Gold (5/1), Omid (15/2), Shantou Tiger (11/1), Court Baloo (11/1), Nicki's Nipper (12/1), Minnie Milan (16/1), Railway Icon (28/1)

There are a couple of solid types in here like Overtheedge and Minnie Milan and they should run their races but there are some more who may be able to bounce back here and are worth watching in the market. Turtle Cask and Railway Icon fall into that category and Tuscan Gold would have a chance if he reproduces his Flat form. OMID has Robert Hogg taking off a valuable 10lb off as he bids to follow-up his win last year and he looks to have been readied for this with a few Flat spins of late.
