Forecasts

Ferrybank (10/3), Feature This (4/1), Trishuli River (9/2), Fleetfootsoldier (13/2), Bucky Larson (15/2), Boomerang Bill (10/1), Sunset Nova (12/1), Zahee (14/1), Rock Basher (22/1), Catwalk Couture (22/1), Summer Snow (28/1), Un Bacio Ancora (33/1), Trident Star (33/1), One Aim (50/1), Superior Council (50/1), Lightupthesky (100/1), Chancey Approach (150/1)

BUCKY LARSON has been shaping up well, runner-up despite not getting a clear run here last time, so it would be no great surprise were he to end a losing run here. In-form pair Feature This and Sunset Nova are obvious dangers.
