Forecasts

Burj Malinka (3/1), Huddle Up (3/1), Leodis Dream (13/2), Count D'Orsay (15/2), Cavalier Approach (8/1), Rodborough (8/1), Sound Reason (9/1), Stone Circle (9/1), Digital (12/1), Impressor (14/1), Pockley (25/1), Back Tomorrow (40/1), Modular Magic (40/1)

LEODIS DREAM has hit the ground running this season and, having found just one too good at Ripon last time, he's fancied to get back to winning ways in what doesn't look quite as strong a race. Burj Malinka is an obvious danger at a track where he boasts a solid record and Huddle Up is a player if in the same form as last time.
