Forecasts

Fat Harry (15/8), Quantock Hills (4/1), Moon Phases (9/2), Powerofjet (5/1), Joecooker (13/2), Glen Road (7/1), Jus De Citron (8/1), Dunnet Head (40/1)

A few of these bring potential, not least FAT HARRY who seemed all set to go 3-3 this term until losing valuable momentum on landing two out at Haydock last time. He can quickly resume winning ways off a still lenient-looking mark at the chief expense of the improving duo Powerofjet (second choice) and Moon Phases. Joecooker and Glen Road also need factoring into this intriguing contest.
