Forecasts

Bungle Bay (7/2), Gidwa (4/1), Bernie The Bear (4/1), Outreach (5/1), Porfin (13/2), Split Elevens (9/1), Rebel Redemption (16/1), Kodi Noir (16/1), Lady Wingalong (20/1), Starjik (25/1), Desert Dream (50/1), Wood Farm Wag (50/1)

The vote goes to the in-form BUNGLE BAY, who did little wrong when touched off back at 6f here last week and the return to this trip will be no bad thing. Bernie The Bear and Rebel Redemption both found one too good on their latest outings, too, and they rate the main dangers, while Wood Farm Wag makes some each-way appeal.
