Forecasts

Yeoman (3/1), Urban Road (10/3), Calanthe (7/2), Charencey (7/1), Dakota Power (7/1), Poetic Force (10/1), Outsmart (16/1), Diffident Spirit (18/1), Show Biz Kid (33/1), Silk Bird (200/1)

URBAN ROAD has held his form notably well this winter and, having resumed winning ways with a bit up his sleeve at Newcastle last week, he's the percentage call to follow up. Yeoman and Charencey head up the opposition.
