Forecasts

Nasim (11/8), Early Morning Dew (9/4), One Step Beyond (11/2), Mabre (10/1), Golden Dove (11/1), Starry Eyes (20/1), Hill Station (22/1), Kells (25/1), Captain Pugwash (33/1), Come On John (40/1)

EARLY MORNING DEW is given a chance to build on a promising first run for his new yard at Kempton last month. One Step Beyond arrives on the back of a pair of good runner-up efforts last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. Golden Dove is another capable of going well.
