Forecasts

Tyke (11/4), Clipsham La Habana (9/2), Safari Dream (9/2), Cliffcake (13/2), Bicep (9/1), Showtime Mahomes (10/1), Seven Brothers (14/1), Many A Star (14/1), Patontheback (22/1), Antiphon (28/1)

SHOWTIME MAHOMES caught the eye when third at Wolverhampton when last seen in November so he could be the answer (can go well fresh). Tyke is expected to bounce back quickly returned to a track he goes well at, while the selection's stablemate Bicep is also worth considering.
