Forecasts

Oliver's Betty (10/3), One Last Hug (4/1), Double D's (5/1), Osmosis (8/1), High Fort (12/1), False Id (12/1), Allux Boy (16/1), Rosemay (16/1), Evolutionary (16/1), Circuit (18/1), Bahkit (20/1), Man Of Verve (25/1), Phoenix Strike (33/1), Rock Up In Style (150/1)

A decidedly trappy affair and it may pay to take a chance on DOUBLE D'S. Michael Dods's charge has proved largely underwhelming to date but there is a suspicion the application of blinkers will help him moving forward. Oliver's Betty and One Last Hug are feared most in that order.
