Forecasts

Albanman (4/7), Greystoke (11/2), Eagle Springs (7/1), Happy (8/1), No Day Never (12/1), One Last Dance (18/1), Roseabad (22/1), Dusk Chorus (40/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (66/1)

ALBANMAN only failed by the narrowest of margins to make a successful racecourse bow at Salisbury earlier this month and should have more to offer yet. He can go one better here. Happy and Greystoke rate the principal dangers.
