Forecasts

Dreams Adozen (5/2), Time Tells All (10/3), Richard P Smith (4/1), Order Of Malta (5/1), Grey Fable (13/2), Rocha Do Leao (9/1), Percy Willis (10/1), Sutue Alshams (18/1), Achnamara (20/1), Byzantine Empire (33/1)

Course-winner DREAMS ADOZEN showed a good attitude when a recent solid Nottingham third so looks the way to go off a 1 lb lower mark. Recent Windsor scorer Richard P Smith heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form pair Time Tells All and Order of Malta.
