Forecasts

Dubhe (3/1), Al Jellaby (7/2), Wings Of Gold (7/2), Mildenberger (4/1), Ode To Autumn (8/1), Carlini (14/1), Letsbe Avenue (25/1), Motown Mick (33/1), Bombshell Bay (50/1), Rockwell Lloyd (66/1), Quick Breath (150/1)

DUBHE can make a winning racecourse debut for a stable who are going well at present. The selection is out of a top class mare and can get the better of previous winner Mildenberger who race prominently when making a winning debut earlier this month with Ode To Autumn, who hails from a top yard taken to claim third in this opening event.
