Forecasts

Daafr (5/4), Thrave (4/1), Native Silver (4/1), Crackling (11/2), Black Box (8/1), Bond Angel (11/1), Bealach (33/1)

It's hard to look past DAAFR, who made it 2 from 2 on this surface in good style 2 days ago and is just as good over this longer trip. Thrave is also well respected under a penalty, with Crackling an interesting handicap debutant.
