Forecasts

Saint Davy (7/4), School Days Over (2/1), General Officer (3/1), Fetch It Yourself (8/1), Blue Ridge Hill (20/1), This Is Bob (28/1), Night Moon (80/1), Heer He Goes (100/1), Nairobi Girl (150/1)

SCHOOL DAYS OVER must concede 7 lb to a couple of point winners in Saint Davy (who fetched £270,000) and General Officer but such was the impression he created at Market Rasen in May, he could well be up to the task.
