BETTING FORECAST:

15-8 Licklighter (IRE), 2-1 Rhythm Is A Dancer (GB), 4-1 Franz Klammer (GB), 11-2 Solar Impulse (FR)

RACE SUMMARY:

All four have a chance but LICKLIGHTER takes marginal preference having seemed stretched by the trip over slightly further at Cartmel last time. Rhythm Is A Dancer makes obvious appeal having made a positive start to his chasing career and Franz Klammer can’t be ignored in his pursuit for a fourth straight C&D success.
