Forecasts

Buzz Box (2/1), Monks Dream (5/2), Dark Kestrel (5/1), Water Of Leith (10/1), Je Ne Sais Quoi (10/1), Glory Fighter (12/1), Strong Power (14/1), Reigning Profit (20/1)

A competitive sprint in which MONKS DREAM is fancied to build on his excellent recent second here and resume winning ways. Recent C&D victor Buzz Box could emerge as the chief threat to Tim Easterby's C&D scorer ahead of in-form trio Glory Fighter, Dark Kestrel and Strong Power.
