Forecasts

Ledger (15/8), Wheres The Crumpet (10/3), Stand Free (10/3), Mr Coco Bean (7/1), Child Of Lir (8/1), Eva Rosie (10/1), Barossa (14/1), Fulltime (25/1), Knight Of Magic (25/1), Run At Dawn (40/1)

LEDGER was a bit disappointing at this course last time but he takes a drop in grade now and is worth a chance to outclass some limited rivals. Wheres The Crumpet arrives in form and is regarded as a danger, while Stand Free showed more encouraging signs on her latest outing, so she's not ruled out.
