Forecasts

Hardy (4/1), Jkr Cobbler (9/2), Elisheva (11/2), Wooders Dream (11/2), Fanzone (6/1), St Andrew's Castle (9/1), Minhaaj (10/1), Oriental Lilly (12/1), Tricky Business (16/1), Deolali (25/1), Spirit Of Bowland (25/1), Danah Star (33/1), Perfect Soldier (33/1), Tidewell (66/1)

JKR COBBLER opened his account here at the start of the year and can bag a second course success on the back of his good recent C&D second. Elisheva posted a career best when going in at Kempton last time and rates a big threat under a 5 lb penalty with in-form Wooders Dream another who can have a say in an open handicap.
