Forecasts

Alfie Boy (13/8), Braes Of Doune (2/1), Hostelry (10/3), Falcon Nine (9/1), Zumaaty (14/1), Cisco Disco (16/1), Zebra Star (33/1)

ALFIE BOY was well backed when running out an easy winner from Hostelry at Beverley last week and can follow up under a penalty. Braes of Doune and Falcon Nine are feared.
