Forecasts

Dingo Dollar (5/2), Rocky's Treasure (9/2), Allelu Alleluia (5/1), Perfect Candidate (13/2), Dawson City (8/1), Cobra De Mai (17/2), Somewhere To Be (14/1), Marquis Of Carabas (20/1), Henryville (20/1)

Verdict

Rocky's Treasure and Dingo Dollar will ensure there's no hanging around and the latter will hold a big chance if he can shake them off in the first mile. But that looks unlikely and it may be set up for something to come from off the pace. HENRYVILLE finally has his ground, which he didn't in the Topham last time out, and he's simply too well handicapped to ignore at present. He can take this at the expense of Allelu Alleluia , who will undoubtedly win more races and looks a big danger here too.
  1. Henryville
  2. Allelu Alleluia
  3. Dingo Dollar
