Forecasts

Getuptheyard (2/1), Avada Kedavra (11/4), Iris Des Issards (7/2), Tom Taggle (4/1), Something Simple (10/1), Summerleaze (33/1)

The handicapper might have taken a bit of a chance in dropping IRIS DES ISSARDS 4 lb in one go and back to the mark he defied at Newton Abbot in the spring. Something Simple is a potential improver in handicaps and might provide the main threat ahead of Getuptheyard and Avada Kedavra.
