Forecasts

Jumira Bridge (11/4), Bernard Spierpoint (3/1), Iesha (9/2), Nigg Bay (13/2), Glen Rosa (7/1), King Crimson (11/1), Chocco Star (12/1), Julie Johnston (20/1), Ascot Jungle (50/1)

JUMIRA BRIDGE has found some form again in recent weeks and is taken to resume winning ways. King Crimson is 10 now but his reappearance third suggests he may be capable of adding to his tally this year so he's feared most ahead of Bernard Spierpoint.
