Forecasts

Autumn Festival (8/11), Connie's Rose (11/4), Darvel (9/1), Return Voyage (14/1), Porterinthejungle (14/1), Letter Of The Law (14/1), Bolly Bullet (16/1), Tricky Business (50/1)

AUTUMN FESTIVAL's dominant C&D win last week is backed up by the clock so the hat-trick is a distinct possibility. Connie's Rose also chases a third win from her last 4 starts and has to be feared if taking up this engagement after a respectable run here yesterday, with Porterinthejungle another to consider.
