Forecasts

This Years Love (9/4), Golspie (5/2), Evelyn's Phoenix (16/5), Little Tiger (4/1), Sense Of Reason (13/2), Young Fire (8/1), Mr Heinz (11/1), Snapcracklepop (20/1), Toronto Raptor (33/1), Encircle (40/1)

EVELYN'S PHOENIX enjoyed a successful 2024 and signalled he is ready to strike again when a good fifth at Redcar last time so gets the vote at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Golspie who wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth at Wolverhampton last time out. Little Tiger, This Years Love and Sense of Reason all need factoring in too.
