Forecasts

Thosewerethedays (6/4), Ashdown Forest (10/3), Contacto (9/2), Steel Tiger (11/2), Loving Look (9/1), Barenboim (10/1), Youthful King (14/1), High Point (18/1)

It'll be a major surprise if there isn't more to come from recent Carlisle novice scorer THOSEWERETHEDAYS now handicapping over further and he should have too much for largely much more exposed opposition. Contacto should find this easier than Old Borough Cup and is second choice ahead of Steel Tiger. The other 3-y-o Ashdown Forest is worth a look in the betting on handicap debut.
