Forecasts

High Court Judge (5/2), Jujubella (10/3), Show No Fear (6/1), Fast Fred (7/1), Ribba Hill (17/2), Alpine Sierra (12/1), Elemental Eye (12/1), Percy Willis (14/1), Byron Hill (33/1), Bella Bluesky (66/1)

HIGH COURT JUDGE arrives at the top of his game and hasn't been harshly treated for his latest success. He can extend his winning run. Show No Fear and Fast Fred should also go well.
