Forecasts

Almadrina (1/1), Greystoke (9/4), Roman Mist (7/2), Ask The Wind (11/2), Bug Boy (9/1), Bolly Bullet (25/1)

This looks easier than the Newmarket Class 4 GREYSTOKE ran well in last time so he's selected to resume winning ways under Rose Dawes. Almadrina probably went off a bit too hard when second at Brighton last time and she's put up for the forecast spot.
