Forecasts

Perfect Symphony (11/4), Big Time Maybe (7/2), Battle Point (13/2), Storm Melody (7/1), Reckon I'm Hot (15/2), Reversion (8/1), Oxygen Thief (17/2), Griggy (14/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (16/1)

PERFECT SYMPHONY bounced back to form when successful over C&D last month and shaped as if still in good heart when runner-up here 9 days ago, meeting some trouble in the straight, so he is taken to resume winning ways in his current mood. Reversion got back in track in a change of headgear last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Big Time Maybe.
