Forecasts

Jumira Bridge (10/3), Rebel Redemption (5/1), Kupa River (5/1), One One Seven (11/2), Sarah's Verse (10/1), We're Reunited (11/1), Kingsley Klarion (12/1), Our Man In Havana (16/1), Chillon Castle (16/1), Major Valentine (25/1), Bahuta Acha (50/1)

JUMIRA BRIDGE was value for extra here 12 days ago, having overcome trouble in running to edge it on the line, so a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Sarah's Verse and Kupa River are feared most.
