Forecasts

Captain Jameson (9/2), Dream Together (9/2), Pearl Of Qatar (5/1), Lord Oberon (11/2), Erich Bloch (6/1), I Am A Dreamer (15/2), True Blue Moon (16/1), Call Me Ginger (16/1), Flavius Titus (22/1), Wild Thunder (25/1), Gowanlad (25/1)

DREAM TOGETHER won a competitive handicap at Thirsk last time and could build on that with another victory here off just a 2 lb higher mark. Flavius Titus seems to be coming to the boil and he has to be respected. Pearl of Qatar bids for a hat-trick and it would be dangerous to dismiss her.
