Forecasts

Marsh Benham (9/2), Ivasecret (5/1), Big Bard (5/1), Vinaka (6/1), Spanish Mane (15/2), Airshow (8/1), Zu Run (8/1), Ceilidh (9/1), Overnight Oats (12/1), Cooperation (16/1), Rabinal (22/1), Arlo's Sunshine (22/1), Bobby Dassler (28/1), Gonzaga (33/1), Kodiac Brave (33/1)

BIG BARD got right back on song when going in on the AW track here last time and still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 9 lb hike in the weights. Ivasecret is feared most on the back of his solid Thirsk fourth, with Spanish Mane and Zu Run also worthy of consideration.
