Forecasts

One More Dream (9/4), Shades Of Summer (11/4), Winforglory (4/1), Jenson Benson (6/1), Papa Stour (13/2), Ideal Guest (14/1), Baikal (125/1)

SHADES OF SUMMER was progressive prior to her respectable effort at Wolverhampton and a return to this track should help, so she's marginally preferred to the likeable One More Dream, who is still going the right way. Jenson Benson is also considered.
