Forecasts

Bear Story (1/1), Ruling (2/1), Prince Of Peace (4/1), Lincoln Hawk (9/2), Wadacre Gogo (50/1), Mullacash Buzz (66/1), Ko Pha Ngan (100/1), Manwal (100/1), Go Large (125/1), Tashkhan (200/1), Lyndall Mount (200/1), Harmonisation (300/1), Becozurworthadd (300/1), Ernest Loring (300/1)

BEAR STORY looks the way to go here given he rates the form pick on his recent C&D second and looks open to further progress after just two starts. Joseph O'Brien's Camelot colt Ruling appeals as much the pick of the newcomers so is feared most, although both Lincoln Hawk and Prince of Peace are not ruled out lightly either.
