Forecasts

Mr Baloo (11/4), Patch's Bond (4/1), Dingle (5/1), Gaiety Musical (8/1), Tadreeb (17/2), He's Got Game (9/1), Cavalry Call (11/1), Rhythm N Rock (12/1), More Than A Feelin (14/1), Arctician (16/1), Gunlock (16/1), Port Erin (28/1), Joycean Way (66/1), Foreseen (100/1)

MR BALOO showed a gutsy attitude to get back to winning ways at Southwell 11 days ago and, nudged up just 2 lb, Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod to go in again at the expense of Patch's Bond, who is less exposed than all of these and took a big step forward making his handicap debut at Lingfield just under 6 weeks ago. More Than A Feelin and Tadreeb round off the shortlist.
