Forecasts

Kranjcar (2/1), Poetic Force (4/1), Bear To Dream (4/1), River Wharfe (11/2), Comedian Leader (11/2), Eight Mile (25/1), Barnsnape Boy (25/1), Roman Emperor (28/1), Falmouth Boy (50/1), Spirit Charmer (80/1)

BEAR TO DREAM is building up a very good record here and looks the way to go returned to handicap company on a lenient mark after a cosy C&D victory in classified company a week ago. River Wharfe also goes very well round here and is next on the list ahead of Comedian Leader, Poetic Force and Kranjcar.
