Forecasts

Gabrial The Wire (5/2), Carnival Zain (16/5), Last Hoorah (7/2), Parys Mountain (5/1), Fieldsman (12/1), Mercurius Power (12/1), Eeetee (18/1), Vissani (20/1)

GABRIAL THE WIRE caught the eye from an unpromising track position over 7f here a fortnight ago and now he's dipped below his last winning mark, he looks poised to strike back up in trip. Fieldsman snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Brighton and is of interest again, with Mercurius Power likely to give it another good go.
