Forecasts

Shes Got The Blues (7/4), Bungle Bay (16/5), Shark Two One (5/1), Tilsworth Max (10/1), Demetris Mouflon (14/1), Coverbridge (14/1), Squashy Berry (16/1), Eulalia (16/1), Kode Grey (16/1), Due Destiny (22/1), Tickhill Flyer (40/1), Bridgefoot Rambler (150/1), Miss Helena (250/1)

BUNGLE BAY arrives here in good order, which will count for a lot at this level so he gets the tentative nod. Shes Got The Blues and Kode Grey are potential threats.
