Forecasts

Your Love Is King (10/3), Dr Rio (7/2), Whatwouldyouknow (5/1), Bit Of A Quirke (5/1), Zihaam (6/1), Oscar Doodle (10/1), Daaris (14/1), Broctune Azure (16/1), Captain St Lucifer (22/1), Big Muddy (40/1)

BIT OF A QUIRKE had excuses at Ripon last time and can record his seventh C&D win back down in class. Dr Rio should go well again, while Broctune Azure still showed signs of greenness when third at Ayr so could have more to offer still on handicap bow.
