Forecasts

Insult (13/8), Big Nick (7/2), Calicojack (5/1), Final List (6/1), Opposites Attract (10/1), Southern Nights (14/1), Spoken For (16/1), Harley B (66/1), Castlehume Gold (100/1), Lord Fitzwilliam (100/1)

Verdict

Several of these are likely to improve as they go forward and the likes of Final List, Big Nick, and Calicojack are all going the right way and are worth considering for place money at least. However, a chance is taken on INSULT building on what was a very promising run on debut at Tramore and, given that form has been franked since, there's probably a lot more to come here.
  1. Insult
  2. Final List
