Forecasts

Dark Side Prince (9/4), Merrimack (3/1), Pop Dancer (9/2), Smooth Silesie (5/1), Cabeza De Llave (8/1), Idle Assembly (11/1), Kodi Red (20/1)

Verdict

DARK SIDE PRINCE has dropped back to the mark he defied here in May and might prove the answer to this concluding sprint. Pop Dancer is on a good mark and is second choice ahead of Smooth Silesie, who has stood up really well to a busy campaign.
