Forecasts

Clondaw General (4/5), Prophesea (5/4), Copper Jack (10/1), A Force To Reckin (66/1), High Joker (66/1), Pennant Legacy (100/1)

CLONDAW GENERAL posted a very good fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time out and can resume winning ways back in these calmer waters. Chris Down's Wincanton scorer Prophesea should ensure he does't have things all his own way however, with Copper Jack next on the list.
