Forecasts

Onebaba (10/3), My Friend Stan (9/2), Glorious Charmer (7/1), Poetry And Art (7/1), Swissal (15/2), Dynamo Walt (9/1), It Must Be Faith (10/1), Secret Potion (22/1), Tan (22/1), Gently Spoken (25/1), Lady Quickstep (28/1)

DYNAMO WALT ran well from his falling mark here 16 days ago, which suggests he could be ready to strike again. It Must Be Faith is in fine form at present and heads the dangers, along with recent C&D winner Onebaba.
