Forecasts

King Of Charm (10/3), Charencey (9/2), Finbar's Lad (5/1), Travis (5/1), Swordplay (15/2), Yoshimi (12/1), Big R (14/1), Run For The Sun (14/1), Vince Le Prince (16/1), Dashing Dick (16/1), Rainwater (28/1), Federal Envoy (33/1)

TRAVIS confirmed the improvement shown at Pontefract last month when runner-up in a 0-88 back there last time and gets the nod to resume winning ways returning to a more suitable grade. Fellow 3-y-os King of Charm and Swordplay head up the opposition.
