Forecasts

Serenity Dream (16/5), Hunky Dory (16/5), Heaven Knows (11/2), Lahina Bay (15/2), Iconic Times (15/2), Kiss And Run (9/1), Dapperling (12/1), Spanish Star (12/1), Danger Alert (14/1), Rory Rocket (20/1), Honour Your Dreams (40/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but SERENITY DREAM signalled he is ready to strike for Tony Carroll when a resurgent second at Lingfield and can end his losing run. Iconic Times didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Wolverhampton last time and is next on the list ahead of course winner Kiss And Run and multiple C&D scorer Spanish Star.
