Forecasts

Darkdeserthighway (11/4), Stratacaster (4/1), Endless Season (6/1), Maestro Stick (9/1), Sadiqaa (12/1), Chevillon (12/1), Instrumental (14/1), Dark Street (14/1), Zonik (16/1), Big Dream (16/1), Harbanaker (18/1), Plankton (18/1), Rosie Rock (22/1), Fit For Function (22/1), Lovesome Dove (33/1), Gormanston (33/1), Pink Socks (33/1)

ENDLESS SEASON gets the vote to build on her promising handicap debut fourth over 7f here a fortnight ago and see off largely much more exposed opposition. Instrumental is another with a lightly-raced profile and is feared most ahead of last-time-out C&D winner Darkdeserthighway.
