Forecasts

Kalooki (30/100), Lemon T (7/2), Islandray (11/1)

The manner of the Ludlow win by KALOOKI suggests that he has been found a good opportunity to defy his penalty and add to it here. Islandray's more recent hurdles run was the next best form here, and with the potential for me, he may just have the edge of Lemon T for minor honours.
