Forecasts

William Dewhirst (6/4), Leap Day (15/8), Aclaim To Fame (9/2), Trickledown (10/1), Whiskey Priest (14/1), Happier (33/1), Malinheadsearovers (50/1), Selby's Joy (66/1), Secret Joy (66/1), Missmimi (125/1)

WILLIAM DEWHIRST showed much improved form when runner-up at Pontefract last month, losing out only on the nod having finished strongly, and he can go one better with further progress to come. Leap Day has placed on both of his starts so far and is feared most, ahead of Aclaim To Fame.
