Forecasts

Bobby Shaftoe (3/1), Isle of Wolves (10/3), Lochnaver (6/1), Little Ted (6/1), Mass Consumption (7/1), Busby (8/1), Great Colaci (17/2), Prince Achille (10/1), Absolute Dream (18/1), A Shining Moon (28/1), Miss Billie (50/1)

A few with chances but BUSBY hinted at a revival with a recent C&D third and gets the vote off a 1 lb lower mark now. Isle of Wolves arrives on a long losing sequence but is weighted to have a big say, while in-form pair Great Colaci and Absolute Dream need factoring in too.
