Forecasts

Dancing City (7/4), Stellar Story (10/3), Better Days Ahead (9/2), Lecky Watson (5/1), High Class Hero (9/1), Backmersackme (16/1), An Tobar (20/1), Cuta Des As (50/1)

Verdict

DANCING CITY was most impressive at Aintree and, although behind Stellar Story in the Albert Bartlett on his penultimate outing, he's capable of reversing the form with that rival under more suitable conditions. Better Days Ahead is another definite player on the back of success in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham.
