Forecasts

Barg (1/1), Catton Lady (4/1), Professor Tickle (9/2), Swiftly (6/1), Bay Of Australia (8/1), East Bank (8/1), Mr Irrelevant (16/1), Madame Christine (16/1), Due Consideration (25/1), Vince L'Amour (25/1), Crack The Kode (28/1), Carnaby Princess (33/1), Forever Eighteen (33/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (33/1), Arran Bay (50/1), Master Eli (66/1)

BARG showed definite signs of promise when keeping on for third on debut in a Thirsk maiden (6f) 17 days ago and with progress anticipated, he could be worth chancing to come out on top. Professor Tickle and East Bank are others to consider, with Swiftly a newcomer to note.
