Forecasts

Varene De Vauzelle (15/8), Culm Counsellor (4/1), Classico Dais (5/1), Thady Quil (7/1), Dotties Dilema (10/1), Cropley (16/1), Phangio (16/1), The Lion Man (20/1), Definately Vinnie (25/1), Nicki's Nipper (25/1), Damby's Star (50/1), Here Comes Molly (66/1)

Varene De Vauzelle gets another chance to break his maiden and given his connections is more than likely to attract some market support but his overall record suggest that he will be underpriced in the market. Classico Dais has to be respected coming back from a long layoff but may just need this with Phangio coming into the mix if he’s given a more sensible and conservative ride here. Neither Dotties Dilema nor Nicki’s Nipper can be trusted and this might see CULM COUNSELLOR cash in on this mark switched back to hurdles having been in good form over fences.
