Forecasts

One Flew Over (9/4), Don't Cry About It (3/1), Port Of Call (7/2), Dories Delight (4/1), Billie Beane (8/1), Confrerie (8/1), Following Breeze (9/1), Fanfare Lady (12/1)

Verdict

None of these can be described as solid, but the booking of Jason Watson looks significant for DORIES DELIGHT, and he's taken to find the necessary improvement to score on handicap bow. Confrerie is another handicap debutant who needs a market check, and Port of Call is the pick of thsoe with handicap experience, for all he's not always looked resolute.
  1. Dories Delight
