Forecasts

Escapeandevade (11/8), Dubai Days (7/4), Salamanca Bay (5/1), Marshalled (15/2)

Verdict

DUBAI DAYS usually comes good around this time of year and, having displayed encouraging signs over further here 33 days ago, this former C&D winner could be worth chancing to build on that effort here. Escapeandevade, a good winner in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago can also feature with a repeat.

  1. DUBAI DAYS (IRE)
