Forecasts

Starsong (10/3), Bear To Dream (9/2), Neptune Legend (9/2), Fai Fai (6/1), Toussarok (7/1), Lynwood Lad (15/2), Roman Emperor (8/1), Big Time Rascal (12/1), Under Curfew (18/1), Thismydream (28/1), Nelson Rose (28/1)

This can go the way of ROMAN EMPEROR who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Lingfield recently and is taken to quickly resume winning ways. Bear To Dream is feared most in her bid to follow up last year's victory in this event, with in-form duo Lynwood Lad and Neptune Legend both firmly in the picture too.
