Forecasts

William Dewhirst (9/4), Barnaby (7/2), Zip (6/1), Waiting All Night (6/1), King's School (9/1), Lerwick (12/1), The Turpinator (14/1), Juan Les Pins (16/1), Callianassa (18/1), Starliner (28/1), Danielsflyer (40/1)

A competitive event but BARNABY rates the pick of the weights so is fancied to follow up his recent C&D victory at the chief expense of William Dewhirst who bids to land a four-timer. Starliner, Lerwick and Waiting All Night all need factoring in too.
