Forecasts

The Brief (9/4), Pottinger (5/2), Banha Bridge (11/4), Kool Baikal (7/2), Immeasurable (5/1), Leshawes (6/1), August Leaves (15/2), Jackman (28/1)

BANHA BRIDGE is in a good vein of form and is just about the pick in this line up. Kool Baikal is a solid alternative, while Pottinger also requires a second look.
