Forecasts

Iris Dancer (9/4), Elladora (3/1), Derwent Boy (10/3), Captain Vallo (4/1), Borough (11/2), Glorious Rio (9/1), Havana Rum (12/1)

CAPTAIN VALLO is just 2 lb above his last winning mark and arrives on the back of an encouraging return at Thirsk earlier this month. He makes plenty of appeal. Iris Dancer and Derwent Boy rate the principal dangers.
