Forecasts

Colombe (7/4), Glamorous Breeze (7/4), Atty's Edge (11/4), Spreadsheet (7/1), Batchelor Boy (15/2), Andre Amar (9/1), Shamshon (10/1), Pop Dancer (16/1)

GLAMOROUS BREEZE is unbelievably consistent and can gain a second win here with David Probert taking over in the saddle. Batchelor Boy is a C&D winner that should make a race of it. Shamshon looks the best of the remainder.
