Forecasts

Fletcher's Flight (11/4), Safari Dream (4/1), Cavalier Approach (9/2), Dusk Dame (7/1), Sound Reason (15/2), Yazaman (8/1), Stone Circle (10/1), Refuge (22/1), Naughty Niall (125/1)

YAZAMAN showed no sign of his purple patch ending anytime soon when completing 4-timer at Thirsk so remains one to keep on the right side of. Fletcher's Flight quickly resumed winning ways at Yarmouth on his first go at 5f and is next best ahead of Sound Reason.
