Forecasts

Whorly Whorly (11/4), Moola Man (7/2), Walled Garden (9/2), Dancing Dora (7/1), Cerulean Dancer (7/1), Laughing William (8/1), Sharapova (10/1), Jet Cat (12/1), Circus Lights (12/1), Vava Vegas (20/1), Anytime Champ (22/1), King Rahul (25/1), Life Lesson (50/1), Mariachi Madness (66/1), Miraculous Man (100/1)

Verdict

DANCING DORA's recent form just about edges this but she has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Moola Man is the pick of the rest, while Cerulean Dancer also comes into the reckoning.

  1. Dancing Dora7/1
  2. Moola Man7/2
  3. Cerulean Dancer7/1
