Forecasts

Hamlet's Night (10/3), Theme Park (10/3), Light Speed (9/2), Glistening Nights (11/2), Risen Again (6/1), Good Heavens (8/1), It's A Love Thing (9/1), Lone Piper (10/1), Mister Daydream (12/1), Rogue Sea (28/1)

HAMLET'S NIGHT went close in this grade from a higher mark for previous connections and may be able to get off the mark while enhancing James Owen's fine record with stable-switchers. Course winner Light Speed is on a good mark if he can recapture his form from last season, with similar comments applying to Theme Park. Of the rest, Lone Piper has posted some creditable efforts this season and could be worth another chance with blinkers refitted.
