Forecasts

Dragons Tail (11/10), Crossing The Line (2/1), Gangland (7/2), Viscount Loftus (9/1)

A tight contest despite the small field, and none of the quartet can be dismissed. Marginal preference is for DRAGONS TAIL, who has proven his worth here in the past. Crossing the Line is still unexposed and can give the selection most to do, with Gangland also feared.
