Forecasts

Smooth Spirit (9/4), Brunel Charm (9/2), Clegane (5/1), Urtzi (6/1), Pitchcombe (8/1), Prince Rock (8/1), True Belief (11/1), Los Camachos (28/1)

SMOOTH SPIRIT progressed to win over C&D earlier in the month, and off just a 1 lb higher mark, he makes plenty of appeal to follow up. The first time blinkers should help the only 3-y-o in the field to take another step forward. Clegane is also a C&D winner and she's of each-way interest on just her second start for this yard. Prince Rock is another C&D regular that can't be ruled out.
