Betting

Forecast

Dartington (3/1), Too Shy Shy (4/1), Night Voyager (4/1), Lily Like (9/2), Deverell (7/1), Le Reveur (14/1), Gazelle (14/1), Spirits High (16/1), Magnificia (20/1), Bythebay (50/1), Secret Equity (66/1)

Verdict

Dartington must improve on his Kempton debut but could well do so while Lily Like and Too Shy Shy are in the same bracket. Gazelle may have found dropping to 6f against her last time and could do better now but, in truth, the standard set by those to have run isn't a high one. Newcomers Night Voyager and SPIRITS HIGH both make appeal on paper and, with the betting to be informative, a marginal preference goes to the latter.
