Forecasts

Benavente (11/4), Devil's Outlaw (3/1), Visualisation (7/2), Star Harbour (5/1), Lansdowne (5/1), Swiss Swoo (25/1), Eloso (28/1), Never Seen Before (33/1), Grove Island (125/1), Meister Bodie (200/1)

STAR HARBOUR was 1½ lengths adrift of Visualisation when fifth in a 14-runner C&D maiden on recent debut, but he would've finished closer granted better luck and will be more street-wise this time. Adrian McGuinness' charge is taken to come out on top this time and it may be that Visualisation's stablemate Devil's Outlaw, who shaped well on debut here last month, will emerge as the main danger.
