Forecasts

Pure Dreamer (4/6), Prince Of Bel Lir (2/1), Skibo Castle (11/4), Propagation (13/2), Neminos (10/1)

This looks weaker than the races PURE DREAMER has been contesting, and though he seems not to be progressing, a reproduction of his Ascot form from last month may well suffice. Prince of Bel Lir ran to a similar level to the selection on debut, but needs to put a lesser effort behind him now gelded. Newcomer Propagation wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to play a part.
