Forecasts

Dashing Dick (5/4), Stay Smart (11/4), Black Sparrow (6/1), Shanghai Rock (8/1), Donny Marlow (10/1), Dacesa (16/1), Mirror Kisses (66/1)

DASHING DICK looked like a sprinter that would improve late last year and he could be forgiven his run at Kempton earlier this month when caught a little wide. He may come on for that run and should be able to gain a long overdue victory here. Shanghai Rock makes his debut for a yard that can do little wrong at the moment and should be respected. Stay Smart should play a part too.
