Forecasts

Rose Cotton (3/1), Dust Cover (9/2), Possible (5/1), Patrol (8/1), Amancio (10/1), Kimeko Glory (12/1), Yokohama (14/1), Curran (16/1), Percy Jones (16/1), Simiyann (20/1), One Million Dreams (20/1), Perfect Scoundrel (20/1), Autumn's Breeze (25/1), Educator (25/1), Vilaine Verlaine (33/1)

PATROL looks ready to strike off a workable mark after an encouraging run at Newcastle last month. The unexposed Rose Cotton is feared, while last year's 1-2 Amancio and Percy Jones are also considered.
