Forecasts

Devasboy (7/4), Poetic Force (7/2), Comedian Leader (5/1), We'renotreallyhere (13/2), Roundabout Silver (8/1), Shot Of Love (11/1), River Wharfe (16/1), Edergole's Gift (50/1)

RIVER WHARFE has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper and might be able to land a fourth win at Brighton. Stablemate Poetic Force is another who knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Devasboy and Comedian Leader.
