Forecasts

Vote Of Confidence (13/8), Global Domination (10/3), Skint (4/1), Appletree Lane (7/1), Thomas Blossom (11/1), Touch Of Steel (12/1)

Dan Skelton enjoyed a good spring/summer campaign in 2017 with cheap acquisitions from smaller yards. VOTE OF CONFIDENCE gets the nod off a highly attractive mark with fingers crossed that the change of stables produces slight improvement and that conditions are less testing than forecast. Skint ran well in similar company last week but had a hard race that day, whilst Global Domination has made costly errors on his last two starts. Appletree Lane is hard to recommend following a poor run last time, but a market move for Touch Of Steel following a wind operation would be significant in a race as bad as this.
