Forecasts

Line Of Descent (5/4), Opening Bid (9/4), Lakefield Flyer (6/1), Go Fox (6/1), Holerday Ridge (10/1), First Angel (10/1)

The thriving LINE OF DESCENT might be up to notching another win. Opening Bid is another who arrives at the top of his game and rates an obvious threat, while Irish raider Lakefield Flyer is also respected on his first chase start since his Downpatrick maiden win in May.
