Forecasts

Bernie The Bear (11/8), Malinheadsearovers (10/3), Tees George (6/1), Makalu (17/2), Secret Joy (12/1), Climate Change (14/1), Rum Runner (22/1), Galton (22/1), See My Baby Jive (28/1)

TEES GEORGE has dropped a long way in the weights and shaped as if back in form over a trip that stretches him last time, so he makes plenty of appeal back in distance. Bernie The Bear looked well suited by the tapeta when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and he's expected to go well again. Malinheadsearovers is another one to consider.
