Forecasts

Richard P Smith (9/4), Coconut Bay (9/2), Cafe Sydney (5/1), Villeurbanne (11/2), Uther Pendragon (15/2), Ciao Adios (11/1), One Step Beyond (12/1), Blairlogie (12/1), Time To Burn (22/1), Rushmore (25/1)

COCONUT BAY is a lightly-raced 3-y-o going the right way and, with further progress likely now stepping up to 1¼m, she's fancied to get off the mark. Cafe Sydney was comfortably on top of a subsequent winner at Bath recently so is respected in her bid to follow up from a 3 lb higher mark, with Richard P Smith another to consider following an improved effort at Chepstow.
