Forecasts

Niceandeasy (3/1), Pokora Du Lys (3/1), Crackdeloust (4/1), Romulus Du Donjon (6/1), Coroberee (7/1), Danceintothelight (9/1), Astaroland (10/1), Minstrel Royal (18/1), Iolani (40/1)

Crackdeloust may be able to do better for the fitting of blinkers and if so, he is on a decent mark, while Minstrel Royal is another who would have claims if at his best, but he doesn't always bring his 'A' game. Iolani is worth a market check and Pokora Du Lys is perhaps a more obvious one for today. Romulus Du Donjon has ability and could win this if getting back on track after his Musselburgh flop, though you can more or less set your clock by DANCEINTOTHELIGHT around here and although he is very much the pensioner of the party, he looks a solid option for us again today.
