Forecasts

Damned Elusive (11/10), Dancing King (3/1), Classy Dame (5/1), Prey For Glory (17/2), Way Of Life (11/1)

A fascinating middle-distance handicap for three year olds despite the small field. WAY OF LIFE looks to have been brought along with these types of races in mind and he can improve to make a winning handicap debut. Damned Elusive is in form and would be dangerous to rule out. Dancing King could also improve for the trip on handicap debut.
