Forecasts

Agent Of Fortune (11/8), Dark Design (7/2), Pedestal (5/1), Lake Sand (11/2), Daafy (13/2), Too Shy Shy (15/2), Rivers Lad (14/1), Purple Poppy (18/1), Chetan (33/1), Mammasaidknockuout (50/1)

DARK DESIGN looked better than ever when scoring at Chelmsford on his first outing since coming over from Ireland and put in another good effort when third at Wolverhampton on Monday. He looks capable of defying this sort of mark if turned out quickly. Agent of Fortune ended her losing run at Lingfield on Friday and rates the main threat under a penalty, with Lake Sand best of the rest.
