Forecasts

Tricky Dicky (11/4), Letmestopyouthere (7/2), Aleef (4/1), Handsome Dude (11/2), Eccleston (7/1), Pearl Nation (14/1), Alpha Tauri (16/1)

The best race on the card in terms of quality and one that should be run at a good pace given that a few of these like to go forward. Tricky Dicky has always shown his form around here and excels on the surface and it won’t surprise to see him go close again here. Handsome Dude has a little ground to make up on Tricky Dicky but looked to take to this surface last time out and should go well again. Pearl Nation is another quite at home on this surface although this grade may test him now and the vote goes to ALEEF who should be suited by this 6f having travelled well over a furlong shorter before here and that extra distance should suit.
