Forecasts

Flash Gorcombe (10/3), Mini Yeats (13/2), Western General (7/1), Limetree Boy (7/1), Breaking Cover (7/1), Barest Of Margins (15/2), Fire Dancer (9/1), Aviles (12/1), Midnight Midge (14/1), Tribesmans Glory (16/1), Calgary Tiger (16/1), Harlem Soul (28/1)

Cases can be made for several so, at forecast longer odds, it could pay to side with CALGARY TIGER, who shaped an awful lot better than the bare result after 4 months off at Newbury recently and William de Best-Turner's front runner can take advantage of another drop in the weights. Flash Gorcombe is likely to be popular in his current mood, so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Breaking Cover and Limetree Boy.
