Forecasts

Forever Eighteen (5/2), Macarone (11/4), Salamanca Lad (7/2), Peaceful Protest (6/1), Mecca's Duchess (13/2), Dingwall (12/1), Uwaittillplaytime (12/1), Amazing Winnie (14/1), Profitable Dreams (66/1)

FOREVER EIGHTEEN was only narrowly denied at Newcastle last week and Nigel Tinkler's gelding is fancied to make amends from an unchanged mark. Macarone was well found in the market when shedding his maiden tag at Beverley last time and is the obvious threat to the selection, with Uwaittillplaytime perhaps most appealing of the nursery newcomers.
