Forecasts

Trais Fluors (7/2), Rise Hall (7/2), Rocket Rod (11/2), Rose Light (7/1), Danielsflyer (15/2), Perfect Swiss (15/2), Sandret (15/2), Broctune Red (10/1), Reel Prospect (12/1), Temper Trap (22/1), Do I Dream (25/1), Bay Dream Believer (50/1)

SANDRET caught the eye on his return from a lay-off when an unlucky-in-running second over C&D so looks the way to go here. Rocket Rod is weighted to have a big say though and rates a serious threat with 3-time C&D winner Perfect Swiss and handicap-debutant Reel Prospect also in the mix in a competitive contest.
