Forecasts

Aces Wild (16/5), Call Glory (9/2), Phoenix Beach (5/1), Catch Cunningham (8/1), Dark Side Prince (8/1), Jojo Rabbit (9/1), Match Play (10/1), Rainyniteingeorgia (16/1), Maharajas Express (18/1), State Of Madness (22/1), Mary The Priest (66/1)

DARK SIDE PRINCE misfired in the Yarmouth handicap won by Match Play but he's evidently more of a force on the all-weather and is taken to regain the winning thread here. Next on the list is Aces Wild, who goes well here and has a good chance of reversing last month's C&D placings with Phoenix Beach on 3 lb better terms. Catch Cunningham is feasibly treated and also merits respect.
