Forecasts

Back From Dubai (9/4), Divine Connection (10/3), Thaayer (10/3), Fast Danseuse (15/2), Brazen Arrow (10/1), Written Broadcast (12/1), Lucky Lucky Lucky (14/1), Highland Queen (14/1), Night Traveller (28/1), Roaring Rosa (33/1), Elettaria (40/1), Tom Tulliver (40/1), Valorant (50/1), Caramello (100/1)

DIVINE CONNECTION has a solid record on tapeta and she shaped well having been left with too much to do at Wolverhampton 18 days ago, so he looks an obvious choice ahead of Back From Dubai, who can put a poor run behind him. Highland Queen, whose last effort is easily excused, also makes some appeal despite stall 11.
