Forecasts

Dapper Valley (5/6), Wichahpi (7/2), Emperor's Son (15/2), Iconic Times (10/1), Royal Musketeer (14/1), My Boy Jack (14/1), Grenham Bay (22/1), Daytona Lady (25/1), Lucky Man (33/1), Danzart (50/1), Secret Road (150/1)

James Owen's new recruit DAPPER VALLEY took his form up a notch when easily winning at Kempton last week and can make light of a 5 lb penalty here. Hamilton runner-up Wichahpi appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Emperor's Son and Lucky Man.
