Forecasts

Life On The Rocks (5/4), Stintino Sunset (10/3), Mr Trick (13/2), First Encounter (13/2), Back From Dubai (11/1), Monks Mead (12/1), Odd Socks Havana (18/1), The Ormer Gatherer (50/1), Offiah's Boy (66/1)

It could be worth siding with STINTINO SUNSET, who should come on for last month's reappearance spin on the all-weather and she has edged back down to the mark off which she was successful on fast ground at Windsor in September. Back From Dubai, Odd Socks Havana and Life On The Rocks have all been knocking on the door and are feared in that order of preference.
