Forecasts

The Dabbler (11/4), Theatre World (7/2), Bois De Clamart (5/1), Peaches And Cream (11/2), Tesseract (11/2), Winter Escape (9/1), Ennemi Public (12/1), Dromore Lad (12/1), Fill The Tank (16/1)

THE DABBLER has reacted well to cheekpieces in recent starts and back in a handicap on a very fair mark, the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Theatre World would likely have won but for a late fall last time and is second choice, with Tesseract also of interest.
