Forecasts

Bavington Bob (15/8), Broadway Joe (3/1), Marown (4/1), Cash To Ash (6/1), Crixus's Escape (10/1), Get Out The Gate (12/1), Amalfi Doug (50/1), Choungaya (150/1)

BAVINGTON BOB has improved with each start over fences and it's likely we haven't see the best of him yet. He can extend his winning run. Broadway Joe and Cash To Ash rate the principal dangers.
