Forecasts

Indie Skies (9/4), Tom Tulliver (9/2), Little Red Dancer (5/1), Liv Lucky (15/2), Billy McGarry (8/1), Stoic Syd (9/1), Fieldsman (10/1), Bear To Dream (10/1), Martini Lodge (14/1), Bowleaze (25/1), Rockonmecca (28/1), Bessah (200/1)

INDIE SKIES took quite a big step forward when runner-up at Kempton 9 days ago and has obvious claims off 3 lb lower (due to go up 2 lb). Little Red Dancer has been knocking on the door since returned to AW so is feared most ahead of Bear To Dream.
