Forecasts

Matchmaking (2/5), Berkshire Spirit (3/1), Photonics (10/1)

It was hardly any surprise to see MATCHMAKING improve greatly for a step up in trip going handicapping for the first time and it looks as though Sir Mark Prescott has a plan for him (he’s already got an entry after this one). Life will be a little tougher here but neither Berkshire Spirit or Photonics should be able to trouble him off their relative marks although both should win a race in due course.
