Forecasts

Let's Dream (11/4), Our Golden One (10/3), Superposition (4/1), Mafnood (6/1), Too Bossy For Us (6/1), Alpen Power (9/1), Timetobenice (10/1), Elemental Eye (11/1)

OUR GOLDEN ONE was progressive last season and the form of her Nottingham success 6 months ago has been boosted since, so she's preferred to Too Bossy For Us, who should benefit from the step up in trip switched to handicaps. Timetobenice is also considered.
