Forecasts

Aurigny Mill (13/8), Dominic's Fault (7/4), Might I (11/4), Paso Doble (7/2), Le Ligerien (4/1), Stream Of Stars (17/2), Monviel (14/1), Dargiannini (16/1), Zambezi Fix (18/1)

DOMINIC'S FAULT is comfortably the most progressive in this field and looks an obvious choice on the back of a cosy win at Lingfield. Aurigny Mill is respected in anticipation of a better showing than last time (easily excused), while Dargiannini can go well again.
