Forecasts

Black Bubba (2/1), Bourbonisto (3/1), Loumarin (9/2), Jack Nevison (8/1), Kody Ridge (14/1), Spiritofedinburgh (14/1), Oakley Pride (25/1), Diminutive (25/1), Cooperess (25/1), Monsieur Paddy (33/1)

Verdict

BLACK BUBBA ran well to finish second in a claimer over 7f here last month and he can go one better by breaking his maiden at the 11th time of asking today. Of his rivals here Spirtofedinburgh is interesting if returning to the form that saw him finish runner-up on the AW in March while Loumarin has been running well in low grade handicaps so far in 2017.
