Forecasts

No Hubs No Hoobs (15/8), Paseo (4/1), My Bad Lucy (9/2), Beyond Redemption (7/1), Famous Last Word (10/1), Dorado Dollar (14/1), Kenyan Cowboy (18/1), Dogem By Design (20/1), Treacys Jim (20/1), Etincelle Artiste (22/1), Call Me Freddie (22/1), El Diablo (25/1), Captain Cuckoo (66/1)

While his overall profile is hardly compelling, NO HUBS NO HOOBS produced by far his best effort yet when getting off the mark over this C&D recently and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. The obvious caveat is that if Paseo is able to put his latest run behind him and returns to the form of his wide-margin Ludlow success in November, he will be a huge threat. My Bad Lucy is third choice on the back of a fair effort at Doncaster.
