Forecasts

Polar Bear (11/8), Bonny Power (7/2), Charming Lady (4/1), Hilltop's Bear (5/1), Hilltop Gold (13/2), Evening's Empire (7/1), Twenty To Three (10/1), Escaping Thejungle (12/1), Water Mint (12/1), Falkor (12/1), Inthepoorhouse (25/1)

This looks a good opportunity for POLAR BEAR, who acquitted himself well from a poor draw at Fairyhouse last time. Charming Lady and Hilltop's Bear look the likeliest dangers.
