Forecasts

Fakir D'alene (6/4), Silvertown (7/2), Tecumseh Sherman (7/2), Old Durham Town (5/1), King's Vow (11/1), Pennywell Girl (14/1), Honey I'm Good (80/1), Pauly Pennino (150/1), Roman Dylan (150/1), Justwest (200/1)

FAKIR D'ALENE improved upped markedly in trip when runner-up at Kilbeggan 52 days ago and has to be considered the one to beat on that piece of form. Silvertown and Old Durham Town are a pair of credible rivals though, especially the former who was unlucky not to win on second handicap start here last time.
