Forecasts

Local Bay (85/40), Oh So Audacious (9/4), Uncle Dick (11/2), Rivas Rob Roy (9/1), King Of Scotia (12/1), Ceilidh (12/1), Poetic Force (12/1), Edmund Ironside (12/1), Micks Dream (14/1), Otago (18/1), Roger Henry (20/1)

LOCAL BAY comes here thriving, landing back-to-back Bath handicaps with a good bit to spare in recent weeks and he can complete the hat-trick. Recent C&D winner Oh So Audacious and Uncle Dick are others to consider, with Poetic Force another from the Tony Carroll stable worth keeping an eye on down in grade.
