Forecasts

Sacred Sprite (9/4), General Allenby (5/1), Misscarlett (6/1), Dew Pond (8/1), The Fiddler (11/1), Another Lincolnday (12/1), Geordielad (12/1), St Andrews (14/1), Cue's Folly (16/1), Maid In Manhattan (25/1), Sweetest Smile (28/1), Excalibur (33/1), Dizoard (50/1), Leodis (50/1), Lots Ov (150/1)

DEW POND performed well when placed last time out and he can record a victory in the concluding staying handicap. The selection has won over this trip in the past and he can take this with Sacred Spite, a winner last time out who is unexposed over staying trips capable of claiming second spot ahead of Geordielad who can finish third on his return from a break.
