Forecasts

Make A Challenge (4/9), Urban Beat (3/1), Rapid Reaction (14/1), Schroders Mistake (16/1), Nordic Passage (18/1), Jungle Jane (18/1), Allez Sophia (20/1), Call Of The Jungle (40/1), Elzaamone (66/1), Blue Umbrella (300/1)

MAKE A CHALLENGE should continue his positive profile by picking up yet another listed race. He's barely missed a beat since winning off 68 last May and it would be risky to oppose him in a fairly weak listed race. Urban Beat has finished behind him on several occasions and he is the biggest danger today. Nordic Passage is a consistent handicapper who may run into the places up in grade.
