Forecasts

Shamshon (15/8), Dark Design (11/4), Hurt You Never (7/2), Company Minx (11/1), Moveonup (14/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (14/1), Madame Marmalade (14/1), Littlemissattitude (28/1)

DARK DESIGN is back on his last winning mark and this is the easiest band of handicap he's contested for a while, so he has a lot going for him in re-fitted cheekpieces. Shamshon has just turned 12 but he still retains plenty of enthusiasm, with Hurt You Never also considered.
