Forecasts

Betsen (15/8), The Flying Seagull (2/1), Dyrholaey (5/1), Yorkshire Glory (13/2), Aisling Oscar (9/1), Glamour Show (22/1)

None of the sextet can be ruled out but BETSEN rates just the pick of the weights and is taken to gain a deserved second success for Tony Carroll at the chief expense of Yorkshire Glory who bids for a remarkable eighth success over the winter. Dyrholaey and Glamour Show can also have a say.
