Forecasts

Bear Story (7/4), Protagonist (7/2), Mandarin (9/2), Miss Myers (11/2), Aurora Princess (7/1), Indian Sioux (12/1), Takeachancejimmy (50/1)

BEAR STORY arrives in excellent form and is easily the least exposed in the field, so he makes the most appeal. Protagonist and Miss Myers are fancied to give him most to do.
