Forecasts

Harry Beau (4/1), Samphire Coast (6/1), Twilight Spirit (7/1), Used To Be (15/2), Bahamian Paradise (8/1), Ubla (10/1), Noble Ballad (10/1), Hitman (10/1), Still Waiting (14/1), Claire's Secret (14/1), Our Greta (18/1), Gabrielle (20/1), Al's Memory (20/1), Mr Potter (22/1), Love Me Again (22/1), Drop Kick Murphi (40/1)

HARRY BEAU can break his maiden at the 11th attempt on just his second start since joining this yard. The selection finished runner-up here earlier this month and with the drop in trip likely to suit he can take this competitive contest at the chief expense of Twilight Spirit who was winning for the first time when successful at Salisbury last time out. Penalised runner Hitman, victorious in a large field at Redcar last week can finish third on this occasion.
