Forecasts

Eight Mile (11/4), Landlordtothestars (4/1), Climate Change (4/1), Harry With Style (9/2), Finn Star (8/1), Ginny Jo (12/1), Muckleton (16/1), Queenmambo (28/1), Spin On Top (33/1), Angel Time (80/1)

EIGHT MILE progressed again when runner-up at Newcastle on his latest outing and he can go one better on his return to action with blinkers now applied. Harry With Style looks to be the main danger after his creditable third here last time, with Ginny Jo completing the shortlist.
