Forecasts

Oakley (5/2), Karloss (5/1), Sharetheknowledge (11/2), Bite That (13/2), Love Like This (8/1), Makfils (10/1), The Border Boy (10/1), Boston Bongo (11/1), Weather Alert (11/1), Truly Elegant (12/1), Silas Marner (14/1), Padraic's Choice (16/1), Hero In The Sky (18/1), Kingdom Calling (22/1), Adaliz (25/1), Big Dispute (33/1), Lacken Forest (50/1), Isthereonemoreinme (80/1), Workforadime (125/1)

OAKLEY has been crying out for this step back up in trip and having finished placed in a brace of big-field handicaps of late, he looks the way to go. This could be a lively betting heat, though with several of interest for one reason or another, notably Karloss and Silas Marner, while current reserve Big Dispute is very well weighed if he gets in.
