Forecasts

Vintage Choice (2/1), Notions (5/1), Windseeker (11/2), The Cookstown Cafu (6/1), Baileysgutfeeling (13/2), Liamarty Dreams (12/1), Roman Dragon (14/1), Robasta (22/1), Flash The Dash (33/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for most of these, but the most persuasive one is for VINTAGE CHOICE who goes into handicaps on a lenient mark and can go one better than his excellent reappearance second at Wolverhampton. Notions scored in taking style at Goodwood and is next on the list, with Windseeker, The Cookstown Cafu and Roman Dragon all shortlisted.
