Forecasts

Island Cloud (5/2), Abiento (11/4), Zebulon (6/1), Ocean Temptress (7/1), Nezar (8/1), Bahamian Sunrise (8/1), Showmethewayavrilo (14/1)

ZEBULON showed his liking for soft ground when runner-up at Newmarket last month and he can follow up a subsequent victory in this competitive 6f event. Bahamian Sunrise has been racing over shorter of late but handles this trip and can take second ahead of Ocean Temptress who carries a penalty for a recent success.
