Forecasts

Special Dragon (7/2), I Look How I Look (7/2), Giver The Hollie (5/1), Valentine Getaway (6/1), Inchiquin Spirit (6/1), Another Day Out (13/2), No No Fizz (11/1), Dora's Addrezz (33/1), Bella Cavalla (33/1)

Verdict

Several of these arrive here on the back of improved efforts, with SPECIAL DRAGON the most appealing of them having chased home a progressive type in King of The Road (winner again since) upped to 18.6f at Market Rasen last time. This further step up in trip should be in her favour and she gets the nod ahead of No No Fizz, I Look How I Look and Valentine Getaway.

  1. SPECIAL DRAGON
  2. NO NO FIZZ (IRE)
  3. I LOOK HOW I LOOK (SPA)
