Forecasts

Noble Expression (11/8), Lexington Law (7/4), Dream Magic (4/1), Fern Owl (16/1), Roc Astrale (16/1), Dolphin Village (25/1), Essential (50/1), Bertie Moon (200/1)

NOBLE EXPRESSION won in first time cheekpieces earlier this year and the switch to blinkers and drop in grade can see him record a victory in this claiming contest. Lexington Law is dropping in grade and he can take second under top weight while third place can go to Dream Magic who was placed in a handicap last time out.
