Forecasts

Dream Illusion (5/4), Corundum (3/1), Asian Journey (11/2), Jack Sparowe (6/1), How's The Guvnor (6/1), Wyvern (12/1), Lessay (12/1), Union Island (14/1), Mini Mac (50/1), Rock Armour (66/1)

This is wide open but DREAM ILLUSION has thrived for the move to Michael Herrington and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent second at Southwell. In-form maiden Corundum is weighted to go well and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Jack Sparowe, Union Island, Asian Journey and How's The Guvnor.
