DASHING DICK 4/1
DASHING DICK at 4/1, William Stone and Nicola Currie, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 9lb below the 74 it won from back in November 2025, is a 3 times-winner over this course and was staying on at the finish last time.
The risk is LYRA LEA, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.0 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The dangers are STAR CHORUS at 14/1 (went close off this mark) and PUREST TIME at 7/1 (well handicapped).
