Forecasts

Grenham Bay (10/3), Safari Dream (7/2), Strike (4/1), The Thames Boatman (9/2), Saffredi (10/1), Beau Jardine (11/1), Spanish Star (16/1), Land Of Magic (16/1), Indian Creak (20/1), Sovereign Knight (33/1)

SAFARI DREAM is thriving currently and is fancied to complete the hat-trick despite a hike in the weights. Beau Jardine and Strike head the dangers.
