Forecasts

Empire De Maulde (7/2), Flying Verse (4/1), Boughtbeforelunch (9/2), Mance Rayder (9/2), Bbold (11/2), The Tourard Man (6/1), Ocean Cove (15/2), Reve (9/1), Court Dreaming (11/1), Beau Du Brizais (12/1)

A winner at Stratford last summer, BBOLD ran right up to his best on the back of 6 months off when third at Ludlow (23.8f) in April. He's now refitted with cheekpieces, and this sort of mark looks within range, so he gets the nod to come out on top. This is competitive however, with Empire de Maulde, Flying Verse and Boughtbeforelunch heading up the dangers.
