Forecasts

Don't Ask (4/5), Darcy Ward (6/4), Lungarno Palace (5/2), Ringa Ding Ding (8/1), Mark's Folly (20/1)

There's a possibility we'll see a better effort from Ringa Ding Ding here but he's got plenty to find, and preference is for those with the solid form. DARCY WARD needs a poor effort last time forgiving but he'd looked useful on his debut when winning here and can get himself back on track. Don't Ask also has a couple of questions to answer after twice being beaten at short odds but both he and Lungarno Palace should have more to offer.
