Forecasts

Nelson Gay (4/9), Warrior Brave (10/3), Peerless (6/1), Campachoochoo (25/1), Cahors (33/1)

NELSON GAY ran right away from his rivals when completing a hat-trick at Sandown last week and should prove hard to peg back here turned out under a mere 6 lb penalty for that wide-margin success. Peerless is another sprinter on the up so can chase him home, with in-form Warrior Brave appealing as the pick of the remainder.
