Forecasts

Rose Hip (1/1), Autumn Flight (7/4), Just That Lord (15/2), Pettochside (12/1), Pop Dancer (18/1)

AUTUMN FLIGHT arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to overcome a career-high mark and garner win number four of 2021. Rose Hip wasn't seen to best effect at Sandown last time and is next on the list, although fellow C&D scorer Pettochside can make his presence felt too having not enjoyed the rub of the green on his past two outings.
