Forecasts

Bonnie's Boy (9/4), Dark Cloud Rising (3/1), This Farh (11/2), Straight Back Up (11/2), Hindley (13/2), Dan Tucker (25/1), Homeland (28/1), The Vital Spark (33/1), Darla's Secret (40/1), Hundred Caps (50/1)

BONNIE'S BOY made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Beverley last month and is narrowly preferred to fellow debut second This Farh. Straight Back Up may prove best of the rest unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Ed Bethell newcomer Hindley.
