Forecasts

Desert Sting (13/8), The Last Bridge (5/2), Free Return (9/2), Irish Thistle (6/1), Court Dismissed (7/1), Heavenly Promise (10/1), Cruising Bye (16/1), Gale Force Oscar (18/1)

COURT DISMISSED drops in grade for this and may well appreciate that, while first-time head gear may also give him an edge, so he is the suggestion. Heavenly Promise should do better now stepped up to 3m, though she will need to improve to take a hand, while Cruising Bye and Desert Sting are others with claims.
