Forecasts

Bound Hill (6/5), Serpico (13/8), Poisoned Berry (8/1), Prouts Pub (8/1), Bad Boy Du Pouldu (9/1)

This can go to BOUND HILL, a C&D winner last time who finds himself in less competitive company this time round. Needs to overcome a 9lb hike the weights but that shouldn't be too difficult in a race of this quality. Serpico looks one of the potential improvers in the fields and the first time blinkers should help, so he rates a threat, as does Prouts Pub who can run a big race now down in class.
