Forecasts

Tregony (11/8), Grantley (13/8), Cedar Rapids (5/1), Art Dealer (14/1), Night Terrors (18/1), Brazen Prince (22/1)

TREGONY hasn't looked back since going handicapping and she is still ahead of her mark despite being raised 6 lb for her recent Bath victory. In-form top-weight Grantley appeals as the one to give Clive Cox's hat-trick seeking filly most to do with Night Terrors and Cedar Rapids both worth a second look too.
