Forecasts

Brown Bear (11/8), Bredon Hill Lad (7/2), Bajardo (7/2), Atlantic Roller (13/2), Little Jimmy (10/1), Albatros De Guye (25/1)

BROWN BEAR has certainly been profitable to follow this year and off the same mark here as his recent Ascot win over hurdles he makes plenty of appeal particularly given his course record. Bredon Hill Lad may rate the main danger after a win at Ffos Las latest and he too is a previous course winner. Bajardo seems to be progressing at this relatively late stage of his career so he can't be ruled out either.
