Forecasts

Romanovich (7/4), Hellavapace (7/2), Brave Display (4/1), Monitola (7/1), Inexplicable (15/2), Brother Dave (11/1), Equiami (16/1), River Wharfe (16/1), Red Dwarf (20/1), Calleveryoneuknow (22/1), La Jolie Fille (25/1), Big Dutchie (100/1)

Preference is for HELLAVAPACE, who was returning from a break when a good second at Chelmsford last week and can race off the same mark here. Romanovich and Inexplicable head the list of dangers.
