Forecasts

Cheers Again (5/6), The Bog Bank (11/2), Malaysian (8/1), Hurricane Helen (9/1), Tynamite (10/1), Phoenix Open (12/1), Reverberation (14/1), Liquid Luck (16/1), Indian Raj (22/1), Chevillon (25/1), Angel Palanas (33/1), Eastern Racer (33/1), Clarinbridge (33/1), Prince Of Abington (50/1), Arch Enemy (66/1), Realtanua (66/1), Ben Milis (100/1)

THE BOG BANK enjoyed a very good 2022 and can kickstart this year with another C&D success given she arrives on a handy-looking mark. Tynamite is always to be much respected round here and next on the list ahead of C&D winner Malaysian in a very open handicap.
