Forecasts

Dance Teacher (11/4), Paddy A (5/1), Scots Piper (15/2), Broughtons Knight (8/1), Keepup Kevin (10/1), Petit Filous (11/1), Wonder Of Dubai (12/1), Golden Guest (12/1), Eburaci (12/1), Flood Defence (16/1), Socrates (16/1), Pulsating (66/1)

A typically difficult three-year-old handicap with plenty of potential improvers in the field and it’s a difficult heat to unravel. Scots Piper won in very likeable fashion on his only start so far and his opening mark looks fair. Wonder Of Dubai looks capable of winning a race (yard in good form) but does need to settle better while Paddy A could have further improvement in him despite the 5lb higher mark. It won’t be a surprise to see Eburaci and Socrates improve on what they have done so far but in a complex heat the vote goes to DANCE TEACHER for who Gerald Mosse is an eye-catching jockey booking.
