Forecasts

Braes Of Doune (3/1), Pembrokeshire (5/1), The Gay Blade (5/1), Concert Boy (13/2), End Zone (15/2), Gobi Sunset (8/1), Darker (9/1), Drakeholes (11/1), Zachary (12/1), Zebra Star (14/1), Rhasidat (22/1), Tarjamah (33/1), Onthebunny (50/1)

BRAES OF DOUNE has been knocking on the door this year and might be able to resume winning ways now. Concert Boy was runner-up over C&D a week ago and should figure again, while recent Hamilton scorer The Gay Blade may prove best of the Iain Jardine trio.
