Forecasts

Scarborough Castle (7/2), Tyche (9/2), Cap D'Antibes (5/1), Broken Rifle (11/2), City Wanderer (8/1), Artisan Bleu (8/1), Ghostly (17/2), Sparkle In His Eye (14/1), Mr Fustic (22/1), Aine Jordan (40/1)

TYCHE has a good record on this surface with two wins on tapeta this year including at this venue. He's still unexposed over this trip and makes most appeal tonight. Cap d'Antibes ran well at Brighton last time and a repeat of that effort would see him go close. Broken Rifle is a C&D winner and he shaped well at Beverley last month so has to be considered too.
