Forecasts

Desirable Court (1/2), Arian (2/1), Blackdown Hills (14/1), Hope's Wishes (50/1)

Dan Skelton looks to have found a good opportunity for DESIRABLE COURT to follow up her recent success at the track. Although she stays around 3m, her win here over 2m4f last time suggests that she still has enough speed to see off this field over the minimum trip. Arian is probably the one to chase her home after a promising chase debut, with Blackdown Hills also having potential for second spot if she can return to better form here.
