Forecasts

Top Bandit (2/7), Mary Meehan (4/1), Bundle Of Dreams (13/2), Henry Miller (18/1), Grandy Light (40/1), Woodstream Lad (66/1), Crabtrees Rebel (80/1), Themunsterexpress (125/1)

TOP BANDIT is the clear form pick in a weak race so, unless Bundle of Dreams puts up a taking debut, Gordon Elliott's representative should be able to open his account at the fifth time of asking. Henry Miller is a noteworthy newcomer.
