Forecasts

Dandy Dan (6/4), Blue Flight (3/1), Vintage Clouds (11/2), Amalfi Doug (7/1), Mysteree (10/1), One For Arthur (10/1), Sharp Response (16/1), Jonniesofa (20/1)

Verdict

A fascinating contest in prospect and it's a race that has been won by the favourite in all it's last four renewals. Jonniesofa could make a mockery of the race, if retaining all his previous ability after a long absence, but it is risky siding with him against those whose well being is not in doubt. Last year's winner DANDY DAN represents a yard in great nick and he looks open to more improvement, so is the selection. Blue Flight is feared, but may not quite have the same scope from this mark, while One For Arthur would be very interesting if ready first time back. The handicapper could catch up with Amalfi Doug this time, but the admirable Vintage Clouds is not ruled out.
  1. Dandy Dan
  2. Blue Flight
  3. Vintage Clouds
