Forecasts

Midnight's Dream (9/4), Believe The Storm (3/1), Sky Safari (7/2), Al Waqidi (11/1), Kalamunda (11/1), Koy Koy (14/1), Debora's Dream (16/1), Cephalus (20/1), Finsceal Luas (20/1), Miletus (33/1), Giant (66/1)

BELIEVE THE STORM was only just denied on his handicap bow at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago and this lightly-raced 4-y-o is taken to go one better. Midnight's Dream is having an excellent season and rates the main threat ahead of Sky Safari, who's worth another chance having shaped as if amiss at Royal Ascot.
