Forecasts

Piper Park (11/4), Mr Bramley (10/3), Forsa Bay (13/2), Suivez Moi (13/2), Brother Boris (17/2), Kalahari King (12/1), Miami Steve (14/1), The Grafter (16/1), Para Handy (18/1), Annies Gold (40/1), Off To Alabama (66/1)

MR BRAMLEY has been off the track since finishing second in this corresponding race 12 months ago and can go one better if ready to go. Expensive point-winner Piper Park looks an interesting newcomer, while the well-bred Kalahari King offered something to work on at Exeter.
