Forecasts

Dances With Stars (13/8), Elzaamsan (10/3), No Trouble (4/1), Jake Peter (5/1), Zoom Tiger (11/1), Dalvey (12/1), Effernock Fizz (40/1), Here And Now (50/1), Captain Cooper (66/1), Party Moon (250/1)

DANCES WITH STARS is proving expensive to follow but he was beaten only half-a-length by the thriving No Trouble over C&D 5 weeks ago and is 4 lb better off with that one now. No Trouble is feared again as he bids for a fifth C&D win, while Elzaamsan is another to consider on handicap bow.
