Forecasts

Charlie Mason (3/1), Cypriot Diaspora (3/1), Different Breed (10/3), Kiss And Run (7/2), Dark Fandango (7/2), Johnny Johnson (5/1)

KISS AND RUN improved when second at Bath last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Different Breed. Dark Fandango is a likely improver on handicap debut, so he's also considered.
