Forecasts

Epsom Des Mottes (11/4), Asking For Answers (7/2), Don't Need To Know (9/2), Ballydonagh Boy (11/2), Darius Des Sources (13/2), Slainte Mhor (10/1), Costly Dream (10/1), Walkin In The Rain (14/1), Newberry New (16/1), Lastin' Memories (18/1), Roxboro Road (22/1), Hopefull (40/1), Savoy Court (50/1)

Verdict

As the numbers might suggest this looks competitive for the level. DON'T NEED TO KNOW leaves the impression this drop back in trip may suit and is selected to turn around Newcastle form with Epsom Des Mottes. The shorter trip is a bit of a concern for last month's 3m course winner Asking For Answers but he's still respected along with Ballydonagh Boy, who has Brian Hughes up.
