Forecasts

City Of Strangers (8/13), Barmyblade (5/1), Pastoral Way (9/1), Auntie Jo (11/1), Another Bungle (14/1), Inertia (14/1), Crackinthunder (16/1), Wee Mary (18/1), Glad Eye (33/1), Luna A Inbhir Nis (50/1)

It's hard to get away from CITY OF STRANGERS, who bolted up at Redcar last week and looks well-in under a 6 lb penalty. Barmyblade and Auntie Jo rate the principal dangers.
