Forecasts

Hurstwood (3/1), Dreamcasing (10/3), Amelia R (5/1), Arnold (5/1), Astapor (7/1), Excessable (7/1), Hard Solution (7/1), Laoch Gach La (9/1), Muatadel (11/1), Hi Harry (11/1), Miss Connaisseur (20/1), Frustrating (20/1), Annie Rose (20/1)

DREAMCASING has shaped as if his turn could be near on his last 2 starts and can open his account this time around. The 4-y-o was again not seen to best effect at Catterick earlier in the month. so he's well worth another chance to prove himself as being ahead of his mark. Amelia R could be the main danger with the drop back in trip to suit, ahead of Excessable.
