Forecasts

Diamond Dealer (1/1), Bill Joyce (13/8), Julius Des Pictons (10/3), J J Moon (9/2), Got A Dream (5/1), Jax Junior (11/1), Western Knight (22/1), Icare Colombe (25/1), Boston Boy (28/1), Gamblergo (33/1), Livy's Lad (150/1), Nelsons Star (150/1), Casting Aspersions (200/1)

GOT A DREAM was the best of these in bumpers, finishing better than mid-field in a Grade 2 at Aintree on final start, and is preferred over last month's C&D winner Diamond Dealer, who shoulders a 7 lb penalty. Julius des Pictons looks an interesting recruit from France having split a pair of subsequent winners when just edged out in a novice hurdle at Fontainebleau when last seen 12 months ago.
