Forecasts

Hunters Step (11/4), Gold Coast (4/1), Mudawwan (6/1), Vitesse Du Son (7/1), Steal The Scene (15/2), Divine Connection (11/1), Choosey (11/1), Sepahi (12/1), Lets Go Lucky (14/1), Mrs Tiffen (300/1)

MUDAWWAN can be forgiven a below-par run at Southwell last time. He'd previously won on this surface at Newcastle and looks the one to beat off a 3 lb higher mark here. Steal The Scene is a multiple course winner and has to be respected down in trip. Any market support for Gold Coast would have to be taken seriously.
