Forecasts

Collinsbay (1/4), Decisive Edge (4/1), Qaasid (11/2), Liberated Lad (25/1), Complexo (50/1), Allaboutthebreath (80/1), Champagne Haza (100/1), The Tide Turns (150/1), Sir Ten T (250/1)

It's hard to side against COLLINSBAY, who has run to a useful level in each of his 4 starts, and now takes a drop in class on his polytrack debut. Qaasid and Decisive Edge are sure to come on for their debut, but they will need a big step forward to trouble the favourite.
