Forecasts

Dandyleekie (7/4), Ancient Astronaut (11/4), Inexes (3/1), Honeysuckle Lil (9/2), Royal Connoisseur (5/1), General Alexander (7/1), Dandy Dude (17/2), Mo Henry (10/1), Gun Case (14/1), Avenue Of Stars (25/1)

Another handicap that will take some sorting out with Inexes likely to be happier back over 6f (he travels well but can be hard to win with). Ancient Astronaut and General Alexander look to be two very solid types who should run their race with Royal Connoisseur likely to be in the picture also given his run at Wetherby last time out. DANDYLEEKIE handles these conditions well (any further rain won’t bother him) and he showed up well last time off his highest winning mark and with the cheekpieces back on here he’s of interest for a yard going well at the moment.
