Forecasts

Believe You Me (10/11), Letter Of The Law (9/2), Dynamite Katie (5/1), Bantry (10/1), Destiny's Spirit (10/1), Rivas Rob Roy (12/1), Iconic Knight (20/1), Not Just Yet (22/1)

BELIEVE YOU ME added to a good course record when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago and she's capable of following up in a race where most are struggling for form. Letter of The Law won here in July, so he's the main threat ahead of Destiny's Spirit.
