Forecasts

Rocky Dreams (5/4), Spanish Tenor (5/1), War Hero (11/2), House Of Kings (17/2), Hightown Heights (11/1), Capla Knight (11/1), Tipperary Moon (12/1), Ajax Tavern (14/1), Windham Belle (50/1), Viv Vance (66/1), Tail Feather (200/1)

Not the easiest claimer to solve but ROCKY DREAMS appeals as the most solid option after running up to his best in a similar event here a fortnight ago. War Hero and House of Kings are a couple of others to bear in mind.
