Forecasts

Famous Dynasty (2/1), Tommys Geal (3/1), Arabian Oasis (7/2), Argyle (9/2), Udogo (6/1), Tinker Tailor (8/1), Hong Kong Joe (16/1), Handsome Dan (16/1), Shamonix (20/1)

Not many of these make much appeal, and the fact there could be a muddling pace on doesn't help matters when trying to find the winner. TOMMYS GEAL can be no more than a token selection in a tricky finale, as at least she's in form and should run her race again. Arabian Oasis took a small step forward last time and another one would make him the danger here. Of those towards the foot of the handicap, maybe there's better to come from Shamonix .
