Forecasts

Matata (11/4), Poncho (11/4), Fame And Fun (10/3), Dom Perry (9/2), Forget The Way (7/1), Captain Jack (18/1), Imac Wood (25/1)

MATATA's headstrong tendencies are a bit of a concern but there's little doubt he has the raw ability to do some damage in handicaps from an opening mark of 120 and the return to a left-handed track should suit given what happened at Wincanton. Fellow handicap newcomer Poncho has made a bright start to his career and is feared most ahead of Fame And Fun .
