Forecasts

Rhymers Stone (7/2), Berkshire Downs (7/2), Un Guet Apens (4/1), Rivabodiva (6/1), Cruachan (13/2), Misfits (10/1), Jet Master (11/1), Top Billing (22/1)

Jet Master looks capable of giving another bold showing here ad should be thereabouts, while Berkshire Downs should be in the hunt for money along with Rivabodiva, though the suggestion is to take a chance on TOP BILLING, who looks well handicapped and handles these conditions, though you do need to forgive him some poor runs lately.
