Forecasts

A Dublin Lad (2/9), Classic Times (9/4), Fly Zone (11/4), First Cut (14/1), Shaheen Saqaar (22/1), Frieze Frame (80/1), Peruvian Sunset (80/1), Wood Farm Wag (125/1), Cuttlestone Bridge (125/1)

The Sandown race A DUBLIN LAD finished third in worked out well and this looks an excellent chance for him to open his account. Fly Zone is the obvious threat on form, with Classic Times a potential improver.
