Forecasts

Bobacious (4/5), Dappled Light (9/2), City Escape (5/1), Meet Me In Meraki (11/2), Flame Of Kodiac (12/1), Mamdoh (14/1), Jenson Benson (20/1), Early Morning Dew (25/1), Jade Country (40/1), Juan Cool Dude (66/1), Timely Escape (80/1), Goodwood Vision (80/1)

BOBACIOUS was 6 lengths clear of the third when runner-up over C&D last week and is 5 lb well-in compared to his future mark. Dappled Light arrives on the back of a series of creditable efforts and is second choice ahead of David Evans 3-y-o Meet Me In Meraki.
