Forecasts

Surrey Noir (11/2), City Cyclone (11/2), Rogue Soldier (6/1), Abbey's Dream (6/1), Wadi Bani (6/1), Liberty Mountain (6/1), Okami (8/1), Island Native (8/1), Dartman (9/1), Garrick Street (11/1), Evenstar (28/1), Kokomo (28/1)

Having made a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford in July, OKAMI had excuses at this C&D on his latest outing (left poorly placed) and he can get back on the up to resume winning ways. Abbey's Dream ran well on her turf debut a week ago and can give another good account back on all-weather, with Surrey Noir completing the shortlist.
