Forecasts

Jumira Bridge (15/8), Sir Hector (7/2), Barrington (4/1), Vape (6/1), Griggy (12/1), Top Boy (12/1), Kupa River (12/1), Something Lucky (50/1)

JUMIRA BRIDGE has been highly impressive in scoring at Wolverhampton the last twice and remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so he's an obvious choice to land the hat-trick at the likely expense of Barrington, who is well treated and shaped well at Lingfield recently. Sir Hector is the pick of the others.
