Forecasts

Black Isle Boy (2/1), Art Obsession (7/2), Vallarta (4/1), Dandyleekie (9/2), The Mcgregornator (6/1), Zapper Cass (6/1), Dark Defender (12/1), Yeeoow (14/1), Dawoodi (33/1)

Dandyleekie and The Mcgregornator would be interesting in the event of rain softening up conditions as both should be approaching their peaks after encouraging seasonal debuts. Art Obsession, Vallarta and Black Isle Boy all won last time. The latter is clearly progressive but this quicker track could be too sharp and preference is for VALLARTA who beat a subsequent winner last time. Ruth Carr's charge rarely runs a bad bad race here and a 2lb rise for a fluid success gives him an excellent chance to follow up.
