Forecasts

Inthenickoftime (5/2), Castleheath (3/1), Shellrunforbriggs (4/1), Space Warrior (5/1), Just For One (9/1), Blue Train (14/1), Rockbrook (16/1), Crystabel (16/1), Hesgonethatway (18/1)

It's hard to get away from hat-trick-seeking SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS, who was most progressive last season. Inthenickoftime and Castleheath head the dangers in an open-looking handicap.
