Forecasts

Watch And Shoot (10/11), Lord Roxby (10/3), Excellent Echo (5/1), Arran (9/1), Prodigal Son (12/1), Chilly Breeze (16/1), Rogue Invader (16/1), Apache Green (22/1)

WATCH AND SHOOT looked unlucky not to finish closer at the very least when fifth on handicap debut at Windsor (1m) 9 days ago, meeting with trouble on several occasions. He's evidently on a workable mark on that evidence and can confirm the promise of that run. Arran's latest Windsor third gives him something to build on. Rogue Invader and Excellent Echo aren't discounted either.
