Forecasts

Boss Power (8/15), Brasca (7/2), Songkran (17/2), Singing The Blues (10/1)

BOSS POWER had a profitable 2020 and is worth another chance to resume his progress after a break having found underfoot conditions against him at Haydock in September. Brasca has an 18-month absence to overcome, but he's a low mileage 5-y-o who may have more to offer.
