Forecasts

Dash Power (10/11), Annalee Lass (5/1), Vecchio (5/1), Aspire To Glory (17/2), Blackstone Cliff (10/1), Van Zant (10/1), Rohilla (50/1), Independent Beauty (80/1)

It was a deserved (as well as belated) first success for DASH POWER in a C&D minor event recently and he is take to strike again. Van Zant was too free and ultimately failed to fire at Southwell last time but he could have a part to play if more relaxed this time, while Aspire To Glory is also in with a shout.
