Forecasts

Indian Creak (11/4), Dream Composer (7/2), Lovely Breeze (4/1), Spanish Star (5/1), The Lamplighter (13/2), Kimifive (10/1), Under Curfew (18/1)

INDIAN CREAK has gone close the last twice, pulling clear with a subsequent winner at Windsor 3 weeks ago, and looks ready to strike. This does look competitive though, with Dream Composer and The Lamplighter heading the dangers.
