Forecasts

Nietzsche (6/5), Tonto's Spirit (2/1), Innocent Touch (3/1), Desert Island Dusk (20/1), Go Guarantor (200/1)

Three in with realistic chances of taking this but all three have some sort of question mark against them. Innocent Touch has the ability if he can get his jumping act together and the 6lb he receives from the top two is very welcome, but he is yet to convince over fences and needs to cut out the mistakes. Nietschze has a touch of class about him but again, is yet to totally convince that fences are his bag, and with that, TONTO'S SPIRIT, who at the weights has a bit to find with the other pair, might be able to put his more proven jumping ability to good use and make all. He's taken to pull off a minor shock.
