Forecasts

Imac Wood (2/1), Ballybeen (5/2), School Days Over (4/1), Taste The Fear (11/1), Timeforatune (12/1), Family Business (14/1), Magic Dancer (16/1), Fairway Freddy (25/1), Song Of Earth (50/1)

IMAC WOOD arrives in great order and is fancied to bag a third win of the season having not enjoyed the rub of the green when a very good Doncaster third last time. Ballybeen has yet to score in this sphere but is holding his form really well and rates next best ahead of C&D scorer School Days Over.
