Forecasts

Year Of The Dragon (8/11), Grangeclare View (9/2), Epic Express (6/1), Lamorna Cove (9/1), Valentinka (18/1), Pablo Prince (18/1), Hugosthere (33/1), Burn The Cakes (33/1), Red Evelyn (66/1), Blue Beret (80/1), Blue Galaxy (250/1), Navajo Beauty (250/1)

YEAR OF THE DRAGON won well at Kempton earlier in the month on his first start for this yard. He should have more to offer on just his third career start now up in trip and will take all the beating. Grangeclare View shouldn't be far away if translating his solid effort at Southwell to this different surface. Valentinka has decent each-way claims.
