Forecasts

Ravenswell (5/4), Daring Leader (5/1), Rampant (5/1), Russian Virtue (17/2), Weegeebear (17/2), Falaise Blanc (11/1), Irv (18/1), Wait And Hope (25/1), Wath Court (66/1)

RAVENSWELL returned to form when second at Carlisle 9 days ago and is fancied to build on that improved showing with victory here. Daring Leader can go well again after his Hamilton success. Falaise Blanc isn't without a chance back at Newcastle.
