Forecasts

Stage Star (11/4), Dalamoi (9/2), Fire Dancer (9/2), Panic Attack (8/1), Malinello (8/1), Unexpected Party (11/1), Datsalrightgino (12/1), Llandinabo Lad (16/1), Fern Hill (18/1), Any News (33/1), Iamastar (100/1)

Several of these are open to improvement, not least FIRE DANCER, who overcame a 27-month absence when scoring on his first start for Venetia Williams at Ludlow where he produced an accurate round of jumping. The 7-y-o is very appealing off a light weight for a yard that has landed this race 3 times in the past. Dalamoi is next on the list, albeit only marginally as both Malinello and Stage Star merit serious consideration, too.
