Forecasts

Tikk Tock Boom (9/2), The Dellercheckout (11/2), Darius Des Bois (11/2), Bob Mahler (6/1), Lithic (13/2), Lord Getaway (7/1), Tanarpino (10/1), Solstice Star (10/1), Fifty Shades (12/1), Little Bruce (14/1), Duke Debarry (16/1), Clondaw Cian (16/1), Minella For Me (20/1)

The three at the top of the handicap all like to press on early and this should be run at a good pace. That should suit THEDELLERCHECKOUT, who was travelling well in his races but wasn't really finishing them off until blinkers seemed to transform him last time out. He can follow up again. Lithic would come into this if the ground isn't as quick as forecast, and the improving Tikk Tock Boom is showing a very good attitude in her races at present. Little Bruce will be dangerous if slipping the field early.
