Forecasts

Oh So Chic (5/2), Aighear (10/3), Samurai Sneddz (4/1), Bouncing Bobby (7/1), Jack Yeats (7/1), Cavendish (8/1), Starlyte (14/1), Toutatis (20/1), Monsieur Co (50/1), Pasha Bay (80/1)

BOUNCING BOBBY did well to finish third given he was held up in a steadily-run race at Redcar 3 weeks ago so needs treating as though still in top form. He gets the nod at the chief expense of Aighear and Jack Yeats.
