Forecasts

Gangway (11/4), Visibility (5/1), Wurlitzer (6/1), Yellow Bear (13/2), Taskheer (15/2), Hot Team (17/2), Broken Rifle (12/1), Unplugged (14/1), Carey Street (16/1), Dewey Road (25/1)

HOT TEAM is in a rich vein of form and, having overcome a pace bias to score at Newbury last week, he's taken to land the hat-trick at the likely expense of the well-treated Wurlitzer, who offered encouragement at this course on reappearance 19 days ago. Gangway is also considered.
