Forecasts

William Money (6/4), Chain Of Beacons (6/1), Vincent Row (7/1), Hattons Hill (9/1), Under The Red Sky (14/1), Dingo Bay (14/1), Ardmillan (14/1), Anitopia (16/1), Oscar Lateen (20/1), Treat Yourself (25/1), Here's To Harry (40/1)

Verdict

Rebecca Menzies has got a good record with others' cast-offs, so a win for Dingo Bay would not surprise, though the suggestion here at what might be a decent price is OSCAR LATEEN. Victor Thompson was on the verge of handing in his cards as a trainer, but has had a change of heart since then and that has coincided with better form by his inmates. Admittedly, this nine-year-old has to put some poor form behind him, but the forecast ground suits and he is 2lb below a previous C&D win. Anitopia has been given a bit of time since his last run and he too could be worth a place again, though do keep an eye on the market regarding Treat Yourself. 1. Oscar Lateen 2. Dingo Bay 3. Anitopia
