Forecasts

One More Dream (9/4), Wiseacre (7/2), Buckshaw Village (9/2), Fiftyshadesofred (13/2), Spirited Guest (15/2), Epic Express (9/1), Flying Secret (12/1), Vape (28/1)

Verdict

ONE MORE DREAM has been holding his form well this year, running up to his best when second at Southwell 9 days ago, and he can build on his latest effort to record a second C&D success. Buckshaw Village stepped up on his reappearance run when making the frame here last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Epic Express.
