Forecasts

Turgenev (10/11), Il Paradiso (4/1), Light And Dark (7/1), Faylaq (14/1), Truly Adored (14/1), Accountability (14/1), Infuse (20/1), Franz Kafka (33/1), Top Top (33/1), Red Phoenix (33/1), Asensio (33/1), Dragon Sun (66/1), Dequall (100/1)

TURGENEV looks like he will be hard to beat after an impressive win at Newcastle last time and even carrying a penalty for that success, it's likely he will take another sizable step forward here. From the newcomers in the line up, Faylaq could hardly be better bred and he's worth watching in the market for this. Il Paradiso was an eye-catching third on debut at Gowran Park and he's worthy of respect given how much the trainer's juveniles can improve from first run to second.
