Forecasts

Caribbean Sunset (5/2), Kats Bob (4/1), After John (9/2), South Dakota Sioux (11/2), Pembrokeshire (12/1), Saisons D'Or (12/1), Moralisa (18/1), Claim The Stars (20/1), Spartan Fighter (20/1), Lily In The Jungle (28/1), Written Broadcast (33/1), Shotley Royale (100/1)

SAISONS D'OR is worth a go at this trip off what is a tempting mark back down in class. South Dakota Sioux shaped better than the bare result over C&D 10 days ago and is next best ahead of Moralisa, who will be suited by the return to 6f.
