Forecasts

Top Of The Bay (1/1), Jac Jumper (11/10), Ribeye (9/4), Six One Nine (7/2), Pure Surf (12/1)

TOP OF THE BAY made a bright start for this yard when beaten only by a subsequent winner over C&D on his return last month and he can go one better. Jac Jumper is next best having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Doncaster 5 weeks ago.
