Forecasts

Cinque Verde (4/1), El Bufalo (4/1), Reigning Profit (9/2), Ecclesiastical (5/1), Bang On The Bell (6/1), Dashing Harry (13/2), Catch Cunningham (9/1), Invincible Speed (28/1)

It could be worth chancing REIGNING PROFIT, who is back down to his last winning mark and should be straighter for his Newcastle return earlier this month. Catch Cunningham and Ecclesiastical are feared most.
