Forecasts

Bobby Bennu (2/1), Palmar Bay (5/2), Yanifer (4/1), Flaming Rib (5/1), Rogue Sensation (8/1), Probe (10/1), He's A Monster (10/1), Thunder Roar (12/1), Kindest Nation (14/1), Legal Reform (14/1)

BOBBY BENNU bounced back to best with a recent run under his belt when second at Haydock last month and has a good chance of going one better in this slightly easier heat. Yanifer should be on the premises again, while Flaming Rib is lurking on a dangerous mark and this sort of trip is perhaps what he wants nowadays.
