Forecasts

The Craftymaster (5/2), Not So Sobers (3/1), Smokey Malone (10/3), Damzon (10/3), Sullivan Bay (11/2), Bloodhound (9/1), Apache Eagle (9/1), Definite (10/1), Fornido (12/1)

Having ended a losing run over C&D earlier this month, THE CRAFTYMASTER wasn't seen to anything like best effect in a race run at a muddling pace at Newcastle latest and he's well worth another chance to confirm his revised mark a workable one. Damzon is fancied to prove a big threat. In-form Smokey Malone can also place.
