Forecasts

His Finest Hour (5/2), Yermanthere (10/3), Draupnir (4/1), Cosmos Raj (9/2), Poet's Dawn (6/1), Triple Force (15/2), No Knee Never (16/1), Precious Spartan (25/1)

Possible to make a case for most of these. HIS FINEST HOUR posted 2 good placed efforts in Class 4 events here for his new yard here last month and can resume winning ways in this slightly lower grade. Cosmos Raj bounced back to form out of the blue at Redcar recently and his good course record provides hope that he can build on that. Fellow Ripon specialist Poet's Dawn also has to enter calculations.
