Forecasts

Don't Ask (4/5), Darcy Ward (6/4), Lungarno Palace (5/2), Ringa Ding Ding (8/1), Mark's Folly (20/1)

Verdict

There's a possibility we'll see a better effort from Ringa Ding Ding here but he's got plenty to find, and preference is for those with the solid form. DARCY WARD needs a poor effort last time forgiving but he'd looked useful on his debut when winning here and can get himself back on track. Don't Ask also has a couple of questions to answer after twice being beaten at short odds but both he and Lungarno Palace should have more to offer.
  1. Darcy Ward
  2. Don't Ask
  3. Ringa Ding Ding
