Forecasts

Rain Cap (11/4), Dandy's Max (7/2), Fircombe Hall (6/1), Royal Guard (13/2), Deevious Beau (15/2), Desert Dream (17/2), Stronsay (10/1), Point Of Woods (22/1), But You Said (25/1), Independent Beauty (40/1), Celerity (50/1), Furniture Factors (100/1)

A chance is taken on DESERT DREAM who has dipped to 4 lb lower than when successful on AW at the end of last year and shaped better than the result last time. Rain Cap has had a very good spell in recent months and should figure again, while Deevious Beau made a decent return from a break at Musselburgh recently and will be suited by the return to 6f.
