Forecasts

Brilliant Light (11/4), Arqoob (3/1), Rogue Bear (3/1), New Dimension (5/1), Marching Army (12/1), Commonsensical (14/1), Via Serendipity (28/1), Protected Guest (33/1)

There is more to come from the well-regarded NEW DIMENSION after just 3 outings. He's been gelded since his latest run when blowing the start at Chelmsford and could kick on now. Brilliant Light has been in good form in top handicaps and is an obvious danger. Rogue Bear did plenty wrong at York and is better than that.
