Forecasts

Commander Of Life (11/4), Rogue Encore (7/2), Paladin (7/2), Siam Fox (7/1), Wind River (10/1), African Spirit (10/1), Bear Force One (12/1), Carnival Zain (28/1)

COMMANDER OF LIFE is on a long losing run but is weighted to go close on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton fourth. In-form top-weight Siam Fox appeals next, with Bear Force One the pick of the remainder.
