Forecasts

Amaysmont (9/4), Surprise Picture (5/2), Autumn Rose (4/1), Just Rita (6/1), Global Warning (17/2), River Wharfe (12/1), A Pint Of Bear (12/1), Triggered (14/1), Monsieur Patat (18/1), Kalganov (20/1), Al Suil Eile (25/1), Embarked (33/1)

A tight-knit sprint in which KALGANOV is taken to build on his tendery-handled Newcastle eighth last time out and get back to winning ways from a handy mark. C&D scorer A Pint Of Bear is another weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, although Just Rita, Global Warning and Triggered all need factoring in too.
