Forecasts

Ash Wednesday (4/7), Bossy Parker (6/1), Viva Voce (6/1), Mudlahhim (8/1), Mashaan (17/2), Buttercross Flyer (14/1), Porfin (18/1), Hawajes (28/1), Alice's Impact (33/1), Dodgy Bob (66/1)

ASH WEDNESDAY comprehensively made amends for a luckless effort the time before when landing the odds over C&D 11 days ago and looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise. Bossy Parker should finish closer to the selection this time on 8 lb better terms and is feared most ahead of Mashaan.
