Forecasts

Mambo Dancer (6/4), Diaktoros (5/2), Galileo's Spear (5/1), Di's Gift (7/1), Eurato (12/1), River Dart (14/1)

It remains early days for Galileo's Spear on these shores, and he's one to be cautious of on his first foray away from Southwell, but the likely favourite Mambo Dancer (twice a winner over 2m on Tapeta) appeared to have precious few excuses for his C&D defeat off this mark earlier this month. Therefore in a race which rates as trappy (despite the small field), a tentative vote goes to DIAKTOROS. His ability to stay is broadly untested, but he's largely unexposed for Ian Williams, and the application of first time cheek-pieces could help.
