Forecasts

Rhythm And Tyne (9/4), Old Peculier (3/1), Dinamine (6/1), Dark Street (7/1), Vista Baby (15/2), Morning Approach (15/2), Party Moon (10/1), Power Drive (14/1), Prince Of Abington (14/1), Limited Edition (16/1), Harriet Eagle (18/1), Jalo (20/1), Nawraq (22/1), Keilah (28/1), Hinemoa (33/1), Contradanza (33/1), Bedelia (100/1)

It's been a while since MORNING APPROACH last tasted success but in what looks a wide-open finale, Willie McCreery's mare gets the verdict to register her third career victory making a rare start on the all-weather these days. Power Drive's effort over C&D 8 months ago is easy to put a line through, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about on return, with Dark Street and Rhythm And Tyne another couple worthy of a mention.
