Forecasts

Gerico Ville (10/11), Val Dancer (7/4), Shandancer (7/1), Flemen's Tipple (12/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing VAL DANCER, who did the job well when opening his account in a Bangor novice in November and, though safely held both starts since, he appeals as the type to get back on track now pitched into a handicap off what looks a realistic opening mark. Gerico Ville is likely to be a warm order having found just one too good off this mark over C&D last week and he is the clear main danger ahead of Shandancer.
