Forecasts

Screaming Petrus (10/11), Early Morning Dew (9/2), Heart Of The Sun (13/2), Serena's Symphony (11/1), Gerrots (12/1), Robert Hooke (12/1), Royal Regard (14/1), Second Kingdom (50/1), Rose Above It (50/1)

SCREAMING PETRUS has shaped encouragingly on both starts over 9.5f here and he should take all the beating now he steps up in trip. Heart of The Sun is an interesting newcomer and she should play a part if fully tuned on debut. Early Morning Dew looks to be the best each-way alternative.
