Forecasts

Kats Bob (13/8), Wreck It Ryley (10/3), Mister Sox (9/2), Rock Opera (5/1), Zip It Up (11/1), American Bay (18/1), Kodiac Thriller (22/1), Another Investment (25/1)

KATS BOB is thriving for Ruth Carr and carries no penalty for his latest victory at Thirsk. He can extend his winning run. Zip It Up and Wreck It Ryley are feared most.
