Forecasts

Fan Mail (7/4), Lord Capulet (4/1), Promise Time (9/2), Get Up Everybody (9/1), Tarlac (11/1), Sole Spirit (12/1), Silver Arrow (14/1), Invitorio (22/1), Two Shoes (25/1), Melissa Honey (28/1)

PROMISE TIME's free-going style suggests he may benefit from the addition of a hood and he's taken to add to her 3 turf wins this summer. Get Up Everybody shaped well when second to Sole Spirit at Thirsk last month and rates a threat. Lord Capulet might have just needed it back from a break last time and is another who could have a say.
