Forecasts

Sunny Corner (6/4), On Song (4/1), Loose Tongue (6/1), Aljadel (17/2), Sneaky Blinder (17/2), Poles Apart (17/2), Weston Court (9/1), Mleiha (12/1), Dancing The Dream (12/1), My Clementine (25/1)

SUNNY CORNER got off the mark at Bath earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that victory. He may be able to follow up. Loose Tongue and Dancing The Dream rate the principal dangers.
