Forecasts

Wannabe Brave (11/8), Steps In The Sand (7/2), Casa Luna (5/1), Alchemystique (10/1), Gentle Fire (10/1), On Cloud (10/1), Blenheim Lad (18/1), Alioski (25/1), Clearance (25/1), Quiet Thunder (33/1), Kitten's Dream (50/1)

STEPS IN THE SAND has made a positive start for this yard and is taken to follow up her Southwell win over this longer trip. On Cloud caught the eye under this rider (suspended for 12 days for failing to take all reasonable measures to obtain best possible placing) here in February and has a bigger performance in her, while Wannabe Brave is becoming nicely weighted.
