Forecasts

Blue On Blue (4/1), Envisaging (4/1), Cainhoe Star (5/1), Dark Side Dream (7/1), Fieldsman (7/1), Tobrave (8/1), Sakhee's Return (12/1), Nostalgie (14/1), Dandy Flame (14/1), Gold Hunter (16/1), Rouge Nuage (20/1), Plucky Dip (20/1), Chelsea Corsage (25/1), Steal The Scene (33/1), Arlecchino's Leap (50/1)

Verdict

The consistent DARK SIDE DREAM can gain reward for a number of solid efforts of late by making all to record a second victory over this C&D in 2017. The selection races off the same mark as when third here last time out and can take this at the chief expense of the maiden Envisaging who races off the same mark that saw him finish a close fourth last time out. Nostalgie is another who has been running well of late and she can claim third on this occasion.
