Forecasts

Fire Away (11/10), Dandolo Du Gite (7/4), Smiths Cross (9/2), Billy's Angel (18/1), Darling Alko (50/1)

FIRE AWAY justified support to win both his starts for this yard and could still be ahead of the handicapper despite a hefty rise. Dandolo du Gite looks back to his best now and rates the main threat.
