Forecasts

Court In A Storm (10/11), Block Rockin Beats (10/3), Gold For Alec (9/2), Queens Venture (11/2), Grangeclare Diego (10/1), I'm A Starman (14/1)

Not a race for strong convictions but GOLD FOR ALEC gets the vote upped in trip following a more encouraging effort at Chepstow. Court In A Storm is 1-1 here and should be in the mix if in similar form to last time.
