Forecasts

Shadows In The Sky (9/4), Taxus Baccata (5/2), Catchim (9/2), Police Academy (9/2), Enjoy D'allen (15/2)

The pick of these may well be POLICE ACADEMY, who was disqualified after crossing the line in front in a Uttoxeter handicap chase during the summer and she has another opportunity to officially open her account over fences off the same mark. Taxus Baccata needs to bounce back, but he'll be a big threat if able to do so, while Shadows In The Sky looks plenty high enough in the weights and the other two have a bit to prove at present.
