Forecasts

Urban Dandy (3/1), Meng Tian (4/1), Midnightattheoasis (6/1), Major Gatsby (13/2), Fieldsman (7/1), Handel (9/1), Warrior Square (11/1), Mine That Ship (14/1), Rockin Rosa (25/1), Ishani (66/1)

URBAN DANDY looked unlucky when just failing to get up over C&D last time and should take a bit of stopping off the same mark if showing up in similar form. Handel needs things to drop right the way he's ridden but can go close off his mark if they do. Meng Tian and Mine That Ship are others who should have a say in a competitive race for the level.
