Forecasts

Encourager (13/8), Western (10/3), Munasir (9/2), Extra Beat (15/2), Screaming Eagle (11/1), Combat Power (18/1), Rakki (18/1), Harry Did (28/1), Highland Slipper (33/1), Never Dream (100/1)

ENCOURAGER offered plenty to work on from a bad draw when fifth starting out over C&D 3 weeks ago, so from stall 1 this time, he may well be up to the task. Extra Beat is another likely improver, with Western also of interest back down in class.
