Forecasts

Chichester (9/4), Sword Beach (5/2), Delph Crescent (7/2), Tangled (5/1), Mythical Madness (5/1), Alibaba (13/2), Dancin Boy (7/1), Poet's Dawn (16/1)

SWORD BEACH shaped very well on his reappearance at Leicester and he should come on for that outing. This stiff finish could bring out a bit more and he looks the one to be with. Chichester won on the tapeta at Newcastle on debut for this yard last time and looks a big danger. Alibaba has run well here before and won on reappearance last year so could offer some each-way value.
