Forecasts

Spring Dance (16/5), Angelo Pio (4/1), Slurricane (11/2), Frank Pickle (13/2), Dancing Steve (9/1), Miss Nifty (11/1), Daboya (14/1), Autocrat (14/1), Eighty Eight (14/1), Dream Escape (16/1), Solar Breeze (20/1), Goldino (28/1), Sir Callisto (40/1), Voice Of Reason (50/1)

A few with chances but Jessica Harrington's SPRING DANCE looks a likely improver now going into handicaps so gets the vote over in-form pair Angelo Pio (second choice) and Dancing Steve. Slurricane also needs considering back in this sphere along with Solar Breeze and Frank Pickle.
