Forecasts

Bay Dream Believer (9/4), Hostelry (7/2), Shahnaz (11/2), Dingwall (6/1), Ayr Poet (8/1), Jumeira Vision (8/1), We Still Believe (9/1), Ring Of Gold (9/1), Yellow Lemons (16/1), Zumaaty (33/1), Cloud Free (33/1), Desert Dream (50/1)

HOSTELRY was an eyecatcher when caught in a pocket at Ayr last time and can take advantage of an attractive mark. Bay Dream Believer has run creditably in three consecutive handicaps since returning from a break and is feared most having dropped to her last winning mark. Dingwall shaped better than the result suggests on his comeback run after six months off and can make his presence felt.
