Forecasts

Dylan's Lad (10/3), Absolute Dream (7/2), Kodi Gold (7/2), Arnold (7/1), Miss Connaisseur (12/1), Racy Stacey (14/1), Bobby Shaftoe (16/1), Lucky Beggar (18/1), Rockley Point (22/1), Sestriere (25/1), Rose Of Lancashire (28/1), Earn Your Stripes (33/1), Barney Too (125/1)

The most interesting of these is MISS CONNAISSEUR, who appears to be getting the hang of things judged on last week's effort in a C&D novice and improvement may well be on the way now that she ventures down the handicap route. Dylan's Lad failed to measure up to market expectations here last time, but he is feared nonetheless. Kodi Gold is also shortlisted, along with Absolute Dream.
