Forecasts

State The Obvious (10/11), Lime Street (11/4), Mondello (11/1), Tell The Tale (14/1), Samson (16/1), Rebel Beat (16/1), Juste Pour Nous (16/1), Mr Mafia (16/1), Hughesie (20/1), Whipcord (25/1), Part And Parcel (40/1)

STATE THE OBVIOUS deserves to win one after some solid efforts against some well-handicapped rivals recently, and this looks a little bit easier. He can score at the expense of top weight Lime Street, who himself caught a tartar last time but has to give a fair bit of weight away here. Rebel Beat may be best of the rest if refreshed after a break.
