Forecasts

Darbucks (11/4), Buckshaw Village (11/4), Ring Of Gold (5/1), Mr Squires (15/2), First Dynasty (10/1), Jkr Cobbler (12/1), Shandy Star (12/1), Bossy Parker (25/1), Majestic Newlaw (28/1), Redrosezorro (28/1)

DARBUCKS has returned in good form and perhaps this is the day he can snap his lengthy losing run. Buckshaw Village is another who hasn't tasted success for a while but he went close again last time and is second choice ahead of recent Southwell scorer Mr Squires and the selection's stablemate Redrosezorro.
