Forecasts

Forpaddytheplumber (11/4), Bold Endeavour (3/1), Escapeandevade (16/5), Raffle Ticket (7/2), Robin Des Fox (10/1)

BOLD ENDEAVOUR is tackling more testing ground than previously, but he's looked a useful prospect so far and, with better still to come, he's taken to defy a penalty. Raffle Ticket sets the standard, though Escapeandevade is certainly no back number after readily making all on his recent Rules debut at Ayr.
