Forecasts

Sibyl Charm (3/1), Grant Wood (9/2), Tyke (9/2), Dark Side Thunder (15/2), Secret Road (17/2), Master Dandy (9/1), Sir Maxi (10/1), Illusionist (11/1), Kats Bob (22/1), El Montejean (25/1), Hallowed Time (28/1), Shobiz (40/1)

Having scored here last month, SIBYL CHARM bumped into a well-treated rival when second at Southwell 8 days ago, so she's worth a chance to get back to winning ways. Master Dandy and Dark Side Thunder are feared most.
