Forecasts

Dream Of Mischief (7/2), Belo Horizonte (4/1), Supaspecialawesome (5/1), Flying Spirit (7/1), Hiromichi (8/1), Lordsbridge Girl (8/1), Shoot To Kill (12/1), Sonemos (12/1), Yellow Lion (16/1), Beautiful Crown (28/1), Renesmee (40/1), Hoornblower (50/1)

The 5-timer beckons for BELO HORIZONTE, who was by no means fully extended to rack up his 4th win in a row over C&D just under 3 weeks ago and Richard Spencer's progressive 3-y-o looks the way to go despite his wide stall. Hiromichi returned to form when runner-up at Musselburgh recently, and he could emerge as the main danger, ahead of Supaspecialawesome and Hoornblower.
