Forecasts

Al Dancer (85/40), Dublin Four (11/4), Dorking Lad (7/2), Lalor (5/1), Barton Knoll (8/1)

A tricky race to unravel despite the small field but this step back up in trip should be right up AL DANCER's street and with a first-time tongue tie added to the cheekpieces worn last time, he's taken to notch a third success over the larger obstacles. Dublin Four made a winning start for this trainer over C&D back in November so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Dorking Lad.
