Forecasts

First Assignment (9/4), Secret Investor (11/4), Slate House (3/1), Pym (5/1), Go Another One (11/2), Dead Right (6/1), Whatmore (7/1), Topofthecotswolds (15/2), Garo De Juilley (8/1)

This looks a hot renewal and there are a number with claims, but it seems significant that connections throw the promising PYM in here on his chasing bow. He is sure to have had plenty of practice at home and is fancied to make a winning first appearace over fences. Secret Investor is useful and is a big danger on his Grade 2 win at Ayr in the spring. He looks a proper threat along with Slate House, Go Another One and Dead Right. Whatmore can't be ruled out either with his yard in cracking form at the moment.
