Forecasts

Dashing Darcey (4/9), Character Testing (9/4), L'Eagle Aid (15/2), Pratigya (25/1), Belarmindar (28/1), Sky Blue Dreams (66/1), Myna (80/1), Snooker McCrew (100/1), Harlington (125/1), Sicilian Sosizza (150/1)

There is more to come from DASHING DARCEY and he can score again over C&D. Character Testing is surely due a change of luck. L'Eagle Aid and newcomer Belarmindar complete the shortlist.
