Forecasts

Navajo Dawn (11/2), Undercover Brother (13/2), Final Legacy (7/1), Archimedes (8/1), Honey Gg (8/1), Gorgeous General (17/2), Sapphire Jubilee (9/1), Arzaak (10/1), Melgate Magic (10/1), Robot Boy (14/1), Alex Gracie (22/1), Groundworker (40/1), Lydiate Lady (40/1), Pilgrims Pursuit (40/1)

Verdict

ARCHIMEDES has failed to trouble the judge in 4 starts on turf following the resumption of racing in June, but he's of strong interest back here off a potentially handy mark. The return to this surface may also bring about a change in fortune for Melgate Magic, and he is feared most. Gorgeous General, another with a good record on fibresand, completes the shortlist.

  1. ARCHIMEDES (IRE)
  2. MELGATE MAGIC
  3. GORGEOUS GENERAL
