Forecasts

Tommy Taylor (13/8), Outside Inside (9/2), War Hero (11/2), San Andreas (6/1), Yuften (6/1), She's A Babe (12/1), Nigg Bay (16/1), Togoville (20/1), Highly Approved (20/1), Have A Nice Day (33/1)

The Joseph O'Brien-trained SAN ANDREAS can continue his improvement on this surface since running with plenty of credit in a couple of defeats last month including a solid effort over C&D behind Yuften. The four-year-old by Dark Angel can win for the second time in his career on his 12th career start at the expense of the dependable Yuften for trainer Denis Hogan and recent C&D winner Outside Inside. The Johnny Levins pair Nigg Bay and Tommy Taylor should not be underestimated.
