Forecasts

Courageous Knight (11/8), Acotango (3/1), Kingdom Of Dreams (9/2), Camusdarach (6/1), Italian Lover (9/1), Naughty Monty (20/1), Profitar Rules (150/1)

KINGDOM OF DREAMS improved markedly from his debut to his second run and already has the form to be bang there, with the possibility of more to come. Courageous Knight is becoming a bit expensive to follow and looks worth taking on having looked to have no excuses at Doncaster last time, though the cheekpieces might help. Camusdarach might be the pick of the newcomers.
