Forecasts

Barenboim (8/13), Mc'ted (13/2), Richard R H B (15/2), Bugle Major (9/1), Rhubarb Bikini (14/1), Balgair (20/1), Ar El Bee (22/1), Teekana (50/1)

Verdict

Having scored readily at Newcastle earlier in the month, BARENBOIM shaped best when beaten in a photo there on Tuesday, so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways while still looking well in under a penalty. Bugle Major arrives on the back of a solid showing and looks a danger, while a return to form is expected from Mc'Ted.

  1. Barenboim8/13
  2. Bugle Major9/1
  3. Mc'ted13/2
