Forecasts

Han Solo Berger (5/2), Free Love (3/1), Country Carnival (4/1), The Princes Poet (5/1), The Daley Express (13/2), Bellevarde (7/1), Saras Hope (8/1), Pettochside (14/1)

THE DALEY EXPRESS left the strong impression that his turn is again near when beaten less than a length by Bellevarde over this C&D a fortnight ago, and is taken to reverse the placings with that rival on slightly better terms. Bellevarde was subsequently turned over at Nottingham and Han Solo Berger, who has slipped to an attractive mark and returns to 0-80 company, rates the main danger.
