Forecasts

Local Bay (10/11), Dundory (13/2), Almufeed (7/1), Billy Roberts (8/1), Channel Packet (9/1), The Throstles (10/1), Hellavapace (11/1), The Sedberghian (16/1), Quiet Thunder (16/1), Shackabooah (40/1)

LOCAL BAY quickly found his feet for David O'Meara with a win at Newcastle last week and is fancied to make light of a 7 lb rise. Channel Packet had an excuse at Kempton last time and had been in good form prior to that so he heads the dangers along with the reliable Hellavapace.
