Forecasts

Follow The Bear (6/5), Uppertown Prince (2/1), Samuel Jackson (9/2), Doctor Haze (7/1), Happy Ring House (50/1)

Follow The Bear is likely to be popular again but he is proving fallible and could face stiff opposition from the shock Taunton winner Samuel Jackson and recent course winner UPPERTOWN PRINCE and the latter just gets the vote. Doctor Haze is another interesting runner and is not dismissed now stepped up in trip and in receipt of weight from the penalised previous winners.
