Forecasts

Runninwild (9/4), Water Of Leith (11/2), Tanasoq (11/2), Buniann (8/1), Just Another (9/1), Tantastic (10/1), Wade's Magic (11/1), Glorious Rio (14/1), Mews House (18/1), Kraken Power (25/1), Young Tiger (33/1)

TANASOQ is on a fair mark and ran a cracker at Ayr last time, so he gets the nod ahead of Bunnian who shaped nicely in a competitive event at Doncaster recently and has an excellent C&D record. Runninwild is also considered.
