Forecasts

Corsican Caper (2/1), A Day To Dream (4/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (4/1), Timewave (11/2), Dance Havana (10/1), Ten Bob Note (16/1), Miss Raindrop (20/1), Texas Boy (22/1), Grain Of Hope (25/1), Gottaifan (33/1), Knights Spear (50/1)

CORSICAN CAPER wasn't quite on his game last time but he'd been on the up previously and should find this easier, so he can shed his maiden tag if he gets the longer trip. Timewave is another one to consider and A Day To Dream is expected to be back to form.
