Forecasts

Game On (5/6), Fool Me Once (2/1), Mister Frostie (8/1), Penny Express (11/1), Captain P (16/1), Lets Do This Buddy (33/1), Aisling Rose (66/1), Shake The Bag (80/1), Firstupbestdressed (125/1)

Not a strong race so PENNY EXPRESS, who is bred to stay well, is fancied to build on his debut over 16.7f and improve beyond Fool Me Once, Game On and Mister Frostie.
