Forecasts

Skyhill (11/4), West Lawn (3/1), Dolly Dancer (4/1), Ex S'elance (9/2), Event Of Sivola (9/2), Without Conviction (6/1), Eveque (8/1), Robert D'ores (17/2), Ballynagran (18/1), Abouttimeyoutoldme (40/1), Lastin' Memories (50/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing DOLLY DANCER, who hasn't shone since striking over this C&D last summer but she's been given a chance by the handicapper and there were positives to glean from her latest effort at Kelso (travelled well for a long way back from a 2-month break). Without Conviction is an obvious threat following her Ayr success and she is next on the list ahead of recent point winner/chase debutante West Lawn (2-2 over hurdles here) and Event of Sivola.

  1. DOLLY DANCER (IRE)
  2. WITHOUT CONVICTION (IRE)
  3. WEST LAWN
