Forecasts

Stipulation (11/10), Night Bear (9/4), Prince Hector (7/2), Myna (10/1), Tilsworth Silver (66/1)

STIPULATION comes here on the back of a very good Doncaster third and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Resurgent Wolverhampton second Prince Hector rates the chief threat ahead of Night Bear.
