Forecasts

Far From Dandy (5/4), Super Mirage (3/1), Great David (10/3), Bear Island (7/2), Sol Argent (15/2), Pure Tenacity (10/1), Garibaldi Memory (22/1), Northwest Passage (33/1), Spuddling (80/1), Demesne Boy (250/1), Rue D'etoile (300/1)

FAR FROM DANDY clearly derived plenty from his debut when a ready winner at Yarmouth a month ago, value for extra to boot, and on that evidence, he's up to defying a penalty. Super Mirage was also well on top when successful at Bath so he must be considered a threat, with Great David another to note.
