Forecasts

Verdict

Most of these are badly out of form so by a process of elimination SHOW'S OVER is a tentative recommendation. With stronger handling here than most recent runs he may well prove good enough. Tikkinthebox continues to fall in the ratings and this may be an opportunity for him to return to form, while old Helium is not completely without hope if he gets up a fair head of steam. It's very hard to get excited about the others.
