Forecasts

Fanjove (9/4), Vintage Heat (10/3), Champagne Dream (9/2), Sunshine And Roses (6/1), Watchdog (15/2), Ebn Sabt (10/1), She's Crafty (10/1), Sand Lily (12/1), Prancy Peer (14/1), Flying Macs (18/1), Ellie's De Vega (25/1), Stepinmydirection (50/1)

The Ed Dunlop 2-y-os are enjoying a cracking autumn and FANJOVE might be able to add to last month's Newcastle success. Vintage Heat has been knocking on the door in similar races and is second choice ahead of Sand Lily, a potential improver in nurseries after a break.
