Forecasts

Rippon Lodge (2/1), The Reaping Race (4/1), Call His Bluff (13/2), Stadius (15/2), Long Island Jenn (8/1), Long March (10/1), October Revolution (10/1), Esthers Marvel (12/1), Chelseas Friend (14/1), Da Baba Elephant (14/1), Olive D'Haguenet (14/1), Don't Let Go (16/1), Helly Hansum (16/1), Minella Away (20/1), Central Court (20/1), Mustmeetkate (40/1), All Or Now (50/1), Bonnie's Dream (66/1)

Lots with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for RIPPON LODGE to finally open his account after an excellent recent second at Ballinrobe. Both Call His Bluff and Stadius arrive in decent form too so look the duo to give him most to do in that order.
