Forecasts

Bill Cody (5/6), Atomic Jack (7/2), Be My Sea (9/2), Niven (11/2), Luduamf (150/1)

BILL CODY won in comprehensive fashion over a shorter trip here last month after returning from a long absence. He should have no issue with the extra two furlongs and looks the one to beat. Be My Sea is his main danger after a creditable effort here last month.
