Forecasts

Bad Habits (5/1), River Wharfe (5/1), Von Krolock (11/2), Romanovich (13/2), Lhebayeb (7/1), Ramon Di Loria (15/2), Rambuso Creek (8/1), Porfin (10/1), Amaysmont (12/1), Legendsoftheland (12/1), Buttercross Flyer (18/1)

BAD HABITS looks a solid proposition in this grade and he can resume winning ways following a luckless passage last time. Ramon Di Loria won here 2 weeks ago and has plenty in his favour again, while River Wharfe has been in good form under a promising apprentice.
