Forecasts

Spy Legend (15/8), Dual Identity (9/2), Heath Rise (13/2), Hafez (7/1), Dolphin (7/1), Mickydee (12/1), Two Two Time (12/1), Red Glory (16/1), Twilight Twist (18/1), New Day (18/1), Eagle Springs (28/1), Maketh Believeth (40/1)

A tough 3-y-o handicap to solve with DOLPHIN selected to take a big step forward and strike. She ran an encouraging race at Goodwood with handicaps in mind and the longer trip will suit this well-bred filly. Twilight Twist, Dual Identity and Two Two Time are just three of the other possibles.
