Forecasts

Dubai Hope (11/4), Crimson Sand (3/1), Emperor Spirit (9/2), Twilight Madness (6/1), Hello Me (6/1), Ehrmann (12/1), Jack's Point (16/1)

C&D scorer HELLO ME shaped as if the run would put him spot on when a fading fifth at Windsor last time and he is fancied to capitalise on a handy mark now. Crimson Sand can also boast a C&D success and is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Twilight Madness and Jack's Point.
