Forecasts

Willy Campbell (10/3), Bass Player (4/1), Equion (4/1), Radiant Beauty (5/1), Bold Ribb (9/1), Risen Again (12/1), Enpassant (14/1), Sedgemoor (14/1), Berkshire Phantom (16/1), Visibility (22/1), Stipulation (40/1), Hartswood (40/1)

Having had a productive autumn, EQUION turned in another excellent effort when runner-up at Newcastle 11 days ago and from the same mark, he seems sure to give it another good go. Bass Player isn't straightforward but he finally won a handicap over C&D last time and this is no stronger, with Willy Campbell another to consider.
