Forecasts

Altiepix (7/4), McCabe Creek (3/1), Degooch (9/2), Dragon's Den (6/1), Helium (8/1), Tindaro (12/1)

Not easy, and some sort of case can be made for all six. The vote goes to MCCABE CREEK , who put in a good shift at Southwell on his debut for the yard and hopefully he can build on that here. Altepix is doing little wrong but may find the drying ground against him, so preference for the runner-up spot goes to Tindaro, who may be best caught fresh these days.
