Forecasts
Triple Force (13/8), Time Tested (4/1), Bay Dream Believer (5/1), Poet's Dawn (5/1), Woodstock City (17/2), Little Ted (11/1), Finn Russell (12/1), Dandy's Angel (20/1)
It's hard to rule out any with confidence. TRIPLE FORCE has a fine record over 1¼m this season and might prove the answer but good claims can also be made for Bay Dream Believer and Little Ted, who were 1-2 in a C&D race only 10 days ago. Last year's winner Woodstock City is well treated if staging a revival, while Time Tested did well on AW at the beginning of the year.
