Forecasts

Dandy Lichious (13/8), Bruce Lightning (7/2), Posh Maisie (9/2), Cool Dan (7/1), Laser Sharp (18/1), Masonbrook Meadow (20/1), Bacio (25/1), Dark Blue Diamond (33/1), Go On Go On Uhavit (33/1), Hispanolita (33/1), Iberian Queen (33/1), Ciantov (50/1), Xaustdwithpleasure (66/1), Turn Up The Beat (100/1)

DANDY LICHIOUS ran his best race to date for his present yard when runner-up over 1m here 7 days ago and, with sound claims on these terms down in grade, he can come out on top. Bruce Lightning, a game winner over 6f 3 weeks ago, rates the lead threat. Cool Dan and Masonbrook Meadow complete the shortlist.
