Forecasts

Street Poet (7/2), Rockesbury (11/2), Little Miss Daisy (6/1), Viola Park (6/1), Burren View Lady (13/2), Adventureman (7/1), Skyva (8/1), Steal The Scene (10/1), Sooqaan (12/1), Descendant (12/1), Caledonia Laird (20/1), Conqueress (80/1)

ROCKESBURY ran well when placed here last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Street Poet has been in good form of late and he can finish runner-up in this contest while third place can go to Little Miss Daisy who is attempting to follow-up last months C&D success.
