Forecasts

Stop On Red (10/3), Blue Collar Lad (5/1), Port Noir (5/1), Bossy Parker (11/2), Northbound (15/2), Sea The Buckthorn (9/1), Storm Asset (11/1), Bear To Dream (12/1), Daring Guest (12/1), American Rose (28/1), Rebel Redemption (28/1), Shabaaby (33/1)

NORTHBOUND ran a cracker at Newcastle last time and makes plenty of appeal. Blue Collar Lad is interesting for a new yard, while Bossy Parker lurks on a tempting mark (won in Ireland with a Timeform rating of 92) and looks the type to come good again soon.
