Forecasts

Big Bard (6/4), Thank The Lord (10/3), Kitbag (9/2), Revolucion (9/2), Q Twenty Boy (15/2), Monitola (9/1), Jumira Bridge (12/1), Global Effort (16/1), Viewfromthestars (16/1), My Turn Now (33/1), Stoic Syd (40/1), Kangaroo (50/1), Carry On Aitch (100/1), Bringhomethebacon (150/1)

BIG BARD returned to form last time and has a solid record on polytrack, so he's a tentative choice from a plum draw in a wide-open sprint handicap. Thank The Lord looks a danger and Revolucion should feature if he can get across from stall 11.
