Forecasts

Fenland Tiger (13/8), Return Fire (4/1), Anglers Crag (7/1), The Electrician (17/2), Track And Trace (9/1), Motion In Limine (9/1), Prince Des Fichaux (18/1), Wavelength (22/1), Uptown Harry (25/1), Rath An Iuir (25/1)

RETURN FIRE has made a positive start to the season and can resume winning ways back down in class. Fenland Tiger made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts over C&D on his chase bow/return and is the obvious threat, with Motion In Limine best of the others.
