Forecasts

Pontius (5/2), Street Poet (4/1), Pivoting (11/2), Dors Toyboy (13/2), Twentysharesofgrey (15/2), Lord Cherry (10/1), Nemorum (12/1), Coul Universe (16/1), Dawahy (25/1), Ballyvil (25/1), Axel Jacklin (50/1)

PONTIUS wasted no time getting back to form when a good second at Wolverhampton on Friday and he remains with few miles on the clock compared to most at this level. Twentysharesofgrey is capable of being involved under his top apprentice, while market support for Sir Mark Prescott's Dawahy would look significant on handicap bow.
