Forecasts

Dusty Damsel (2/1), Dawn View (3/1), Mostallim (10/3), Irish Times (9/2), Cristal Pallas Cat (6/1), The King's Steed (16/1), Surrajah (18/1), Fuwairt (25/1), Nicky Baby (33/1), Disarming (50/1)

A trappy low grade handicap and THE KING'S STEED is chanced to win at this venue for a fourth time. He shaped better than the result last time after a short break at Wolverhampton. With the tongue tie back on, he should be able to get involved. Dawn View and Dusty Damsel head the dangers.
