Forecasts

Last Date (7/4), Nemorum (9/2), Fast Flo (5/1), Poetic Jack (6/1), Many Rivers (8/1), Equiami (11/1), Cabaret Show (20/1), Alicefromumbridge (20/1)

LAST DATE has refound some form lately and perhaps he can get his head back in front. Nemorum has strung a couple of decent efforts together here this autumn and is second choice ahead of Fast Flo.
