Forecasts

Mearall (11/8), We Dare To Dream (13/8), Ann Terry (5/1), Callout (15/2), Galtee (33/1), Capricorn King (50/1), Focus On Zaam (250/1)

WE DARE TO DREAM showed plenty of ability when runner-up at Ayr on debut last month and this looks a good opening for him. Richard Fahey's newcomer Mearall may emerge as the main threat ahead of Ann Terry.
