Forecasts

Reggae Runner (11/4), Politicise (11/4), On The Line (3/1), Big Baby Bull (11/2), Coolagh Forest (13/2), Howzer Black (9/1), Amadeus Grey (14/1), Lincoln Park (16/1)

Verdict

Politicise just failed to concede a penalty when last spotted in a Windsor novice and is much-respected for the in-form William Haggas yard now going handicapping but preference is for REGGAE RUNNER. He was off the mark at the third time of asking a Lingfield AW novice in February and should have plenty more to come in handicaps as the summer approaches. He can land this for last year's winning trainer. On The Line and Howzer Black are other potential improvers worth paying attention to in the market.
