Forecasts

Birkenhead (6/5), Lezardrieux (4/1), Duke Of Firenze (4/1), Thegreatestshowman (5/1), Zapper Cass (11/2), Dark Shot (9/1)

This is a very competitive sprint with the first three from a C&D race last week reopposing together with two other last-time-out winners. Preference is with BIRKENHEAD though who only just lost out here last week and he may reverse the form with Duke of Firenze on better terms. Dark Shot can never be ruled out here either. Lezardrieux will be dangerous if he takes to the fibresand.
