Forecasts

Crantock Bay (3/1), Kumasi (4/1), Daniel Deronda (6/1), First Response (7/1), Medicine Jack (9/1), Deb's Delight (10/1), Dawn Breaking (11/1), Tommy G (18/1), Oriental Lilly (22/1), Velma (25/1), Twin Appeal (40/1), Red Jasper (50/1), The Game Of Life (66/1), Billy Wedge (100/1)

CRANTOCK BAY looked unlucky not to reel in Dawn Breaking over C&D 17 days ago, and granted a clear run this time, he can gain his revenge. The drop to 7f isn't sure to suit First Response but he does arrive here in excellent order, so commands a place on the shortlist.
