Forecasts

Run For Oscar (5/2), Wouldn't You Agree (3/1), Bonarc (4/1), Winner Takes Itall (6/1), Effernock Fizz (10/1), Dollar Value (12/1), Charlie Stout (12/1), Uncle Henry (14/1), Good Man Jim (18/1), Bridge Native (20/1), Crassus (25/1), Ardamir (28/1), Thosedaysaregone (33/1), Mr Moondance (33/1), Whatsinthecorner (50/1), Bythesametoken (50/1), Bective Cave (66/1), Department Of War (66/1)

RUN FOR OSCAR shaped quite well when sixth in a Down Royal handicap on his reappearance a couple of weeks ago and is selected to build on that and make it 2 wins in his last 3 starts. Winner Takes Itall, another who should be sharper with a run under his belt, and the unexposed Wouldn't You Agree head the dangers.
