Forecasts

Exquisite Acclaim (5/2), Silkies Sib (4/1), Barbapapa (9/2), Rockbury Lad (7/1), Dromantine (7/1), The Bog Bank (9/1), Bobby K (9/1), Bellick (11/1), Darkened (20/1), Cousin Shay (20/1), Fastman (33/1), Limestone Red (33/1), Albion Princess (33/1), Shining Aitch (50/1), Navalny (66/1), Le Comte De Frou (100/1), Apprentice (100/1)

THE BOG BANK was a decent third back here on Friday and remains of interest off what is a good mark (2 lb lower than for her win here in the summer). Barbapapa and Exquisite Acclaim head the dangers.
