Forecasts

Resumption (6/5), Screaming Petrus (9/4), Ocean Heights (11/4), Umm Hurair (7/1), Greek Flame (9/1), Dandy Maestro (11/1), Amani (16/1), Cigoli (25/1), Michigan State (28/1), Natalie Rose (40/1), Bold Spectrum (66/1), Some Detail (125/1), Joyful Song (200/1)

The vote goes to RESUMPTION, who showed more spark than on his debut in April when third in a six-runner minor event on return 3 weeks ago and he remains open to improvement. Umm Hurair is also armed with potential starting out for the Roger Charlton stable and she will be a threat if ready to roll. Ocean Heights is another key player on form, while newcomer Screaming Petrus needs a second look.
