Forecasts

Reverberation (4/1), Mc'ted (9/2), Optik (9/2), Twilight Guest (9/2), Come On John (10/1), Crazy Maisie (10/1), Frankfreya (10/1), Platinum Prince (11/1), Laurentia (25/1), Lucidity (28/1), Sir Joseph Swan (125/1)

REVERBERATION continues to run well, simply unlucky to bump into one on a sharp upward curve at Wolverhampton last time, and he remains one to be interested in at this level. Mc'Ted was revived all of a sudden when scoring at Wolverhampton and remains potentially on a good mark under a penalty, while Come On John is threatening to come good now dipped below his last winning mark.
