Forecasts

Bungle Bay (15/8), Bethersden Boy (4/1), Mostallim (5/1), Champagne Supanova (7/1), Scramble (8/1), Jumira Bridge (11/1), Viewfromthestars (12/1), Thegreatestshowman (12/1), Privilege (28/1), Kodi Dancer (28/1), Dunmore East (33/1), Moveonup (50/1), Floats On Air (50/1)

BUNGLE BAY got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time and with that form having been franked he is taken to defy a 3 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of C&D scorer Jumira Bridge, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at the same track on his most recent start. Viewfromthestars is another who can go well in his bid for a first victory.
