Forecasts

I'm Spartacus (4/1), Winemaker (4/1), Velvet Skies (9/2), Devil's Angel (13/2), James Henry (7/1), Rattletheonionbag (17/2), Dream Today (11/1), Happy For Evva (14/1), Macadam's Rock (20/1), Hasiyna (22/1), Moonhall Lass (40/1), Hero Of The Hour (40/1), Gimmieminnie (66/1)

VELVET SKIES had an excuse last time and is given another chance to confirm the promise of her penultimate C&D second with Billy Lee taking the ride this time. Dream Today is at the veteran stage but is still a potential class act at this level and is feared most ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer I'm Spartacus.
