Forecasts

Rory Rocket (5/2), Eye Of Dubai (5/2), Think Of A Name (5/1), Topwarrior (11/2), Far Above Dream (6/1), Kiss And Run (7/1), Englemere (8/1)

RORY ROCKET caught the eye when finishing strongly here 11 days ago despite not getting a clear run and can get off the mark. Eye of Dubai can do better back on turf/soft ground and emerge as the chief threat.
