Forecasts

Silky Robin (3/1), Papa Don't Preach (4/1), Lion's Dream (6/1), Due Date (6/1), Poetic Jack (8/1), Lion Ring (17/2), Lilkian (11/1), Nubough (12/1), Bear To Dream (25/1), Doves Of Peace (66/1)

With a strong pace forecast, this may be run to suit the free-going PAPA DON'T PREACH who last time settled better than he has done previously and is on a fair handicap mark if putting it all together. Poetic Jack and Silky Robin both tend to race prominently but have some strong form around this track and merit plenty of respect.
