Forecasts

Oakley Boy (3/1), Dandy Magic (4/1), Blinky (9/2), Star Chorus (11/2), Fiorella Princess (8/1), Fallen Soldier (8/1), Atherstone Beau (10/1), Startling (12/1)

Verdict

OAKLEY BOY has shown improved form fitted with a visor on his last 2 starts, bumping into one who scored again next time at Wolverhampton on his latest outing, so he is taken to resume winning ways returned to 5f. Dandy Magic left behind her stable debut effort with a ready success here last time and is respected, with Star Chorus also one to note.
