Forecasts

Spirit Of Breeze (2/1), Moulin Booj (9/4), American Rose (7/2), Diamond Dreamer (11/2), Hardy Angel (6/1), Global Crisis (8/1), Show Of Hands (10/1), Margaret's Fuchsia (16/1), Shine's Ambition (18/1)

SPIRIT OF BREEZE found only one too good at Lingfield earlier in the month and can land the spoils. Diamond Dreamer and American Rose are feared.
