Forecasts

Future Benefits (2/1), Elleon (3/1), First Man (4/1), My Bad Lucy (15/2), Top Decision (8/1), Lough Salt (17/2), Jack Doyen (20/1), Famous Last Word (22/1)

FUTURE BENEFIT has taken well to this sphere and remains on a workable mark so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways after his very good Market Rasen second. First Man is feared most off a handy-looking mark now back chasing, with the in-form Elleon another who can't be taken lightly.
