Forecasts

King Of Jungle (10/3), Catch Cunningham (4/1), High Velocity (4/1), Live In The Dream (6/1), Edward Cornelius (7/1), Navello (7/1), Little Earl (14/1), Selby's Pride (16/1), King Of Speed (16/1), Red Warning (28/1), Bicep (33/1)

KING OF JUNGLE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Wolverhampton and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow so gets the nod in an open handicap. King of Speed is another with better days ahead of him and is rated next best, with High Velocity weighted to have a say too if back on song.
