Forecasts

Caph Star (13/8), Border Edge (7/4), A E Housman (9/2), Baltimore Boy (5/1), Al Agaila (6/1), Salcombe Storm (16/1), Classical Music (20/1), Regal Rambler (50/1), Vivien (50/1), Dashing Panther (100/1), Chadlington Lad (100/1), Maokai (125/1), Miss Bluebelle (150/1), Claddaghduff (150/1)

BORDER EDGE showed much improved form when forging clear to score by a wide margin at Nottingham in June and, likely has better still to come, so he could be up to defying a penalty. Caph Star seems sure to improve on a promising first effort at Ffos Las and rates a big threat, while A E Housman, Baltimore Boy and Al Agaila are others in the mix.
