Forecasts

Our Dickie (5/4), Jaminoz (13/2), Royal Countess (15/2), Goblet Of Fire (8/1), Mac Ailey (10/1), Samurai Sneddz (10/1), Retirement Beckons (10/1), Doomsday (10/1), Mad Artymaise (14/1), Cheese And Wine (50/1)

OUR DICKIE disappointed at Redcar last time but he's the one to beat if able reproduce the form of his win at this track the time before. Retirement Beckons is a multiple winner here over the years and arrives on the back of victory at Ayr last week, so is the obvious threat. Royal Countess is best of the others.
