Forecasts

Diamond Ranger (9/4), Qaasid (4/1), Daheer (11/2), Night Bear (6/1), Freak Out (8/1), Suffrajet (17/2), Eeetee (10/1), Hezmie (12/1), Bearaway (50/1)

DIAMOND RANGER is building up a good record on AW and he shaped well having made a big move into contention when third at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago, so he makes plenty of appeal with improvement possible in first-time cheekpieces. The front-running Night Bear is an obvious player in his hat-trick bid and Daheer also merits consideration.
