Forecasts

Moonspirit (5/2), Yeoman (10/3), Pjanoo (11/2), Supaspecialawesome (8/1), Royal Dream (9/1), Old Smoke (12/1), Achillea (14/1), Noodle Mission (20/1), Lunarscape (20/1), Valkyrian (25/1)

The C&D handicap ROYAL DREAM won last month has worked out really well and he looked unlucky not to go closer when third at Kempton last week so he's the suggestion. His teammate Yeoman has a steadily progressive profile on AW and is second choice ahead of Moonspirit.
