Forecasts

River Run Free (8/13), We Got Your Back (7/2), Eric Carmen (12/1), Wexford Park (12/1), Ceolwulf (14/1), Yes And Yes (14/1), Storm Of Light (40/1), Ultra Viers (50/1)

RIVER RUN FREE should have more to offer on the back of his recent chase debut success and is taken to deny We Got Your Back the hat-trick. Ceolwulf has peak fitness to prove after nearly a year off but he has the potential for better after shaping well on his sole run last season.
