Forecasts

Cowboy Cooper (7/2), Wavelength (4/1), Gibberwell (9/2), Benny Baloo (11/2), Coolmoyne (15/2), Robert D'ores (8/1), Toombridge (11/1), Artic Breeze (12/1), Pure Surf (25/1), Goodoldbill (25/1), Get 'em In (40/1), Mance Rayder (40/1)

Verdict

COWBOY COOPER took a step back in the right direction when third over this C&D 12 days ago and this could be the day when he finally gets his head in front. Toombridge is capable of a bold show off his present mark and he is next on the list ahead of Coolmoyne and Benny Baloo.
