Forecasts

Uncle Dick (6/5), Buy The Dip (5/2), Coloane (4/1), Free Step (6/1), Goose Rock (7/1)

None of these can be ruled out but COLOANE can capitalise on a handy mark now and gain a deserved first success. In-form pair Free Step and Uncle Dick both bring solid credentials to the table and can chase home William Jarvis' filly in that order.
