Forecasts

Notre Maison (3/1), Global Effort (9/2), Araifjan (11/2), Gogo Yubari (6/1), Henery Hawk (15/2), B Associates (9/1), Bernard Spierpoint (11/1), Bankrupt (12/1), Beaumadier (12/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (16/1), Colors Of Freedom (18/1)

BERNARD SPIERPOINT took a step back in right direction starting out for this yard when fourth at Nottingham and is potentially on a handy mark if building on that. Notre Maison and B Associates head the dangers.
