Forecasts

The Last Knight (9/4), Urban Step (11/4), Zoffany's Delight (9/2), Dacesa (9/2), Mass Gathering (16/1), Sardonyx (18/1), Uno Miligre (18/1), Lisabetta (33/1), Cornish Rock (33/1), Rare Flower (50/1), Styledome (80/1), Writewhenyouland (80/1)

It may to forgive DACESA her latest run in a big-field sales event here and she has solid claims at the weights on her first 3 runs. Zoffany's Delight was also out the back in the same sales race here but will be a threat if recapturing the level of his Sligo nursery win. The Last Knight and Mass Gathering are also on the shortlist.
