Forecasts

Sam's Hope (3/1), Ziggy's Triton (4/1), Popular Dream (9/2), Law Of Average (11/2), Thankuappreciate (13/2), Winchurch (10/1), Bang On The Bell (12/1), Fiorella Princess (16/1), Glory Fighter (40/1)

SAM'S HOPE has been in terrific form and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Wolverhampton last month. She can resume winning ways. Winchurch and Ziggy's Triton should also go well.
