Forecasts

Gordons Aura (10/3), Gliding Bay (7/2), Timestamp (7/2), Buxted Reel (9/2), Myriad (9/2), Moonlit Warrior (5/1), World Without Love (8/1), Spit Spot (14/1), Baroque Star (22/1)

TIMESTAMP ran below form on turf last month but, having previously racked up a hat-trick on the all-weather, he can leave his latest effort behind and gain a third success at this C&D. Gordons Aura could also fare better this time around in first-time blinkers, while Myriad can give his running again.
