Forecasts

Urban Dandy (9/4), Water Of Leith (11/4), Crypto Quest (3/1), Beneficiary (5/1), Sixcor (7/1), Birkenhead (17/2), Latin Five (10/1), Sugar Hill Babe (18/1), Mews House (25/1)

C&D winner URBAN DANDY has dropped to a handy mark and was unlucky not to finish much closer here last week. He gets the nod in the finale. Water of Leith and Latin Five also enter calculations.
