Forecasts

Big Time Dancer (7/2), Thorntoun Care (9/2), Quoteline Direct (5/1), My Brother Mike (11/2), Bob Maxwell (8/1), Ravenhoe (9/1), Cliff Bay (14/1), Berlusca (16/1), Richard Strauss (16/1), Poppyinthepark (20/1), King Oswald (25/1), Melabi (33/1)

RAVENHOE had perhaps more to spare than the winning margin suggested at Musselburgh last month and can be forgiven a defeat (finished third) on soft going at Goodwood a week ago has his wins tend to come on decent ground. In a wide open contest, he's more than capable of a big say from his current rating. Cliff Bay was poor last time but can have a say if bouncing back while Berlusca shaped better over this C&D recently and has been given a chance by the assessor. Quoteline Direct is another contender while Big Time Dancer needs a close look on first start for his new trainer.
