9/2

On lengthy losing run but consistent sort who arrives on back of good second of 14 over C&D. That form has worked out very well and he's proven on soft going so he rates a big player.

Forecasts

Mr Poy (5/2), Arabic Charm (11/4), Dourado (9/2), Sansevero (11/2), Harbour Vision (7/1), Shady Mccoy (8/1), Eye Of The Water (10/1), Crystal Casque (11/1), Alfie Solomons (12/1), Able Grace (12/1), Ayr Harbour (16/1), Xtara (80/1)

Lots with chances but at the likely odds it's worth siding with DOURADO who arrives on the back of a very solid C&D second (excellent form) and now figures on a good mark too. Unexposed 3-y-o duo Mr Poy and Arabic Charm head up the list of dangers, although C&D scorer Crystal Casque is also worth considering.
