Forecasts

Bomb Squad (11/4), Rogue Thunder (4/1), Star Of Atlantis (9/2), Savalas (9/2), You Are Everything (5/1), Bankrupt (9/1), May Remain (12/1), Bernie The Bear (12/1), Socialise (14/1), Q Twenty Boy (25/1), Badosa (33/1), Tomshalfsister (125/1)

BOMB SQUAD rates the pick of these weights on the back of his good recent Newcastle second so is fancied to go in at the chief expense of fellow C&D winner Savalas. You Are Everything, Rogue Thunder and May Remain also need factoring into this open handicap.
