Forecasts

Bear Ghylls (10/11), Elysian Flame (9/2), Trans Express (11/2), Song Of The Hunter (11/2), Stormy Flight (15/2), And The New (12/1), Potters Venture (14/1), Clemencia (18/1), Bean In Trouble (22/1), Dan McGrue (100/1)

The unbeaten BEAR GHYLLS hasn't finished improving and there's a strong case for saying he's better than an opening mark of 130, so he's preferred to Potters Venture, another progressive sort who, admittedly, hasn't been seen for a while. Another bold showing seems assured from course specialist Trans Express.
