Forecasts

Tommy's Promise (7/2), Celebrating Ethel (9/2), Never Dream (5/1), Laurentia (5/1), We'renotreallyhere (17/2), Rainbow Sign (9/1), Velvet Vortex (11/1), Headshot (14/1), Vecchio (16/1), Anticipating (20/1)

NEVER DREAM rates the pick of the weights given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Goodwood fourth so gets the vote in this trappy handicap. Anticipating wasn't seen to ideal effect when seventh at Ffos Las last time out and is also weighted to have a say, while Laurentia, We'renotreallyhere and Celebrating Ethel all need factoring in too.
