Forecasts

Lost Connections (11/4), She Has Notions (11/4), Harrys Hope (6/1), Henry Box Brown (15/2), Politicianspromise (10/1), Miss Marette (12/1), Walkingoneggshells (12/1), Famous Last Word (16/1), Sinister Minister (18/1), School For Scandal (22/1), Invincible Wish (22/1), Beannaigh Do (25/1), Kayf Baha (33/1), Mr Sociable (50/1)

Verdict

LOST CONNECTIONS is a pretty consistent operator at this sort of level, something that cannot be said for most of these, so she rates the percentage call. Harrys Hope is a potential improver switched to fences following a break, with last month's C&D scorer She Has Notions another to consider.
