Forecasts

Follow The Bear (1/14), Adman Sam (12/1), Chase Me (16/1)

This should go to FOLLOW THE BEAR, who should be winning with the minimum of fuss. He won over further at Kempton last time out and should easily be able to defy the rise in the weights, as large as it is. Adman Sam is clearly the next best option, ahead of Chase Me, who has it all to do even in this small field.
