Forecasts

Another Angel (5/2), Ballyare (3/1), James Watt (4/1), Primo's Comet (6/1), Thrilla In Manila (13/2), Dazzling Des (7/1), Good Luck Fox (17/2)

PRIMO'S COMET is now 2 lb below his last winning mark and fared better than of late when fourth over C&D last time, so is perhaps building up to something. Ballyare was beaten only by a well-handicapped rival at Wolverhampton 10 days ago so warrants respect, as does 7-time C&D winner Another Angel.
