Forecasts

Tex (6/5), Wrydcroft (13/8), Mickey Mongoose (17/2), Cherry Cobbler (11/1), African Spirit (12/1), Dashing Donkey (12/1), Fancy Dancer (28/1), Regal Guest (40/1)

Verdict

WRYDCROFT continues to progress and he can make it 5 wins from his last 6 starts at the chief expense of Tex, who might well have scored with a better break at Leicester last week. Dashing Donkey is back on a handy mark and can complete the 1-2-3.

  1. WRYDCROFT
  2. TEX (FR)
  3. DASHING DONKEY
