Forecasts

Red Mist (4/5), Raydiance (2/1), Three Saints Bay (9/2)

Three Saints Bay is in good form and a win for him would be no major shock, but on paper at least, both Red Mist and RAYDIANCE appear to have stronger claims and the last-named is suggested. Karl Burke's colt looks well worth stepping up to this trip and, although officially he has 2lb to find with Red Mist, he should be capable of building on a good reappearance and winning this.
