Forecasts

Redredrobin (3/1), Autumn Festival (3/1), Little Boy Blue (10/3), Cori Glory (6/1), Macs Dilemma (13/2), King Of War (15/2), Tiriac (10/1), Liangel Hope (12/1), Baileysgutfeeling (16/1)

AUTUMN FESTIVAL has a mixed record this year but is well handicapped and is worth chancing at a venue where he's tasted success before. C&D specialist Macs Dilemma is second choice ahead of the prolific Redredrobin.
