Forecasts

Dashing Roger (7/2), Yorkstone (4/1), Roman Dynasty (6/1), Where's Freddy (13/2), Look Back Smiling (15/2), Romilda (8/1), Harswell Duke (9/1), Marching Band (9/1), Dandy Maestro (14/1), Ben Hamrash (14/1), In The Trenches (18/1)

Having shown improved form on his handicap debut, IN THE TRENCHES shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off on his latest outing, so he could still have more to offer on only his third start of the year. The 3-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of the hat-trick seeking Yorkstone, with Romilda another who merits consideration.
