Forecasts

Ziggy's Condor (4/1), Bell Shot (4/1), Riot (4/1), Mr Baloo (4/1), State Flag (8/1), Batal Dubai (8/1), Ernie's Valentine (9/1), Thorntonledale Max (16/1), Vince Lombardi (20/1), The Caribbean (28/1), Bulldog Drummond (33/1), Mond (150/1)

BELL SHOT arrives in form and was successful on his last go over C&D, so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways. State Flag is of interest back down in trip and Riot is a player if they end up going too quick.
