Forecasts

Dream Of Mischief (9/4), Aurora Dawn (5/2), Saturnalia (11/2), Ajjaj (17/2), Big R (10/1), Overnight Oats (11/1), The Toff (22/1), Puffable (25/1), Jimmy Lifestyle (25/1), Chindwin (33/1)

DREAM OF MISCHIEF looked an unlcuky loser when runner-up at Goodwood last time and can make amends off just a 1 lb higher mark. Puffable made a promising start for Alice Haynes when third at the same track and rates a big threat eased 1 lb. Jimmy Lifestyle is another who has been lowered in the weights and can have a say in an open handicap.
