Forecasts

Bobby Bennu (1/1), Germanic (6/5), Ten Pounds (5/2), Warrior's Dance (10/1), Barefoot Warrior (18/1), Melon Twist (33/1), Poppy Galore (50/1), Spring Festival (100/1), Degale (100/1), Electric Lightning (125/1)

GERMANIC looked a smart prospect when scoring at Newcastle last month and is taken to follow up. Ten Pounds and Bobby Bennu also arrive on an upward curve and are the obvious dangers.
