Forecasts

Ravenscraig Castle (5/2), Happy (10/3), Dark Jedi (4/1), Haizoom (5/1), Excelcius (7/1), Sir Chauvelin (17/2), Glasses Up (9/1)

HAIZOOM is in good order and this slight step up in trip from last time should work in her favour, so she's preferred to Happy, who could get his own way in front. Ravenscraig Castle, also back up in distance, is another one to consider.
