Forecasts

Inver Park (9/4), Zim Baby (10/3), Bernardo O'Reilly (9/2), Many A Star (7/1), Dancinginthewoods (8/1), Indian Creak (9/1), Ooh Is It (10/1), Smeaton's Light (16/1), Little Boy Blue (20/1), Mister Bluebird (22/1), Crazy Luck (25/1), Coco Bear (25/1), Marlay Park (25/1), The Cruising Lord (33/1), Recon Mission (40/1), Yimou (50/1)

BERNARDO O'REILLY turned a competitive-looking Doncaster handicap into a one-sided affair last week and on that evidence a 4 lb penalty won't stop the follow up. Inver Park is a big threat on the back of a positive stable switch, with Many A Star also of interest.
