Forecasts

Moon King (9/4), Flexi Furlough (9/4), Lalochezia (4/1), Spike Jones (11/2), Firth Of Forth (15/2)

The way LALOCHEZIA responded for pressure when opening his account at Kelso last month suggests this further step up in trip will suit, and back in a handicap on a very fair mark, he looks the way to go. A case of sorts can be made for all of these though, with Flexi Furlough feared most.
