Forecasts

Dartrey (1/3), Dagger Strike (7/2), Archangel Josepi (16/1), Sailor Batt (16/1), Somebody (18/1), Emilia Casanova (25/1)

This will likely develop into a straight fight between penalised pair DARTREY and Dagger Strike, with preference for the former who bolted up over 6f here on New Year's Day.
