Forecasts

Smart Boy (2/1), Never Learn (4/1), Bridge of Cally (4/1), Zen Master (5/1), Inch Lala (10/1), Skinflint (10/1), North West Wind (20/1), The Major (33/1)

Inch Lala has prospects on debut for her stable and cases can also be made for Smart Boy and Never Learn. However, the choice is BRIDGE OF CALLY, whose last run saw him finish third to two subsequent winners, one of them in very good company. Zen Master hails from a yard going well and may give him most to do.
