Forecasts

Where R U Now Bob (10/3), Dappled Light (4/1), Fendi (4/1), Rossmore Nation (5/1), Scat Maggie (13/2), Trident Star (17/2), Press Play (18/1), Jilted (22/1), Reigles (22/1), Okyle Lass (25/1)

DAPPLED LIGHT hasn't shown much to date but he's upped markedly in trip for his handicap debut and bred to be better than a mark of 51, so he might be worth chancing in a very thin race. Fendi looks an obvious player on the back of a creditable third here and Trident Star could make his presence felt if he's able to bounce back from some poor efforts.
