Forecasts

Bosh (16/5), McLean House (7/2), Baldomero (7/2), Aljari (5/1), Love De Vega (8/1), Hieronymus (10/1), Charencey (12/1)

BOSH is in top form at present and can follow up his ready success at Chelmsford up only 2 lb. Hieronymus also arrives at the top of his game so is feared most ahead of Aljari.
