Forecasts

Road To Wembley (4/6), Path To Dubai (11/4), Timetobenice (6/1), Galactic Charm (6/1), Billiegee (7/1), Attila The Honey (11/1), Monsieur Melee (12/1), Trafalgar Square (50/1)

The hat-trick beckons for ROAD TO WEMBLEY, who scooted clear to win by 7 lengths without being asked for maximum effort at Lingfield last week and he can continue Richard Hughes' fine run of form under a penalty. Path To Dubai was narrowly denied at Wolverhampton in February, so he's put forward as the main danger upped further in trip, with Timetobenice rounding off the shortlist.
