Forecasts

Inexplicable (13/8), Dandys Gold (4/1), Child Of Lir (9/2), Darker (7/1), Fanzone (17/2), Shine's Ambition (10/1), Mr Coco Bean (14/1), Foshan (20/1), Miss Raindrop (150/1)

INEXPLICABLE has proved pretty consistent this year and only narrowly failed to score at Southwell last week. He gets the nod. Dandys Gold and Child of Lir should also go well.
