Forecasts

Humble Spark (11/8), Percy Willis (6/4), Illucidate (4/1), Show No Fear (12/1)

HUMBLE SPARK showed a superb turn of foot to get himself out of trouble here 11 days ago and remains of strong interest up 2 lb in what is likely to be another tactical affair. Percy Willis was a good second here last week and is the obvious threat.
