Forecasts

Tropical Talent (11/4), Dexter (11/4), Westerton (3/1), Getaway Jewel (4/1), American Empire (8/1), Socks Off (14/1), Applejack Poet (16/1), Hooper (25/1), Peace Motivator (50/1)

DEXTER remains on a competitive mark and is weighted to this time get the better of Getaway Jewel, who bested him at Worcester 3 weeks ago and has since run well enough at Cartmel. Tropical Talent is also shortlisted in a race that lacks depth.
