Forecasts

Follow The Bear (11/4), Ready And Able (10/3), River Arrow (7/2), Mance Rayder (5/1), Forecast (11/2), Timeforben (7/1), Three Star General (8/1), Jacks Last Hope (16/1)

The progressive form of Ready And Able immediately takes the eye and even off a mark such as this there is evidence to suggest that he can be successful again as he returns from a break. Follow The Bear ran a sound race at Ayr last time and would be dangerous if handed a soft lead again that run his first for five months will have brought him on. Forecast is another who has performed well of late despite his quirks and the same could be said of Three Star General although he hard to trust. RIVER ARROW hasn’t had many opportunities in handicaps and given the promise she showed last time at Cheltenham and up in trip here she’s worth chancing at a price that looks to underestimate her chance.
