Forecasts

Pearl Beach (1/1), Rodrigo Diaz (3/1), Evaporust (15/2), Windy Cove (15/2), Swan River (10/1), Prince Percy (12/1), Arietta (22/1), Dame Denali (28/1), Beat The Heat (40/1), Nostalgica (50/1), Mackelly (100/1), Speculation (200/1)

PEARL BEACH had plenty in hand over C&D 10 days ago and is 4 lb well-in compared to her future mark under a penalty. Rodrigo Diaz appeals as a likely improver now stepped up to the sort of trip he's bred for, while Gary Moore's Prince Percy has run well here before and was second over hurdles last month.
