Forecasts

Nevada Queen (9/4), Beyond Boundaries (3/1), Hurricane Helen (9/2), Two Two Time (6/1), Chilean (13/2), Make The Switch (7/1), Chimeric (17/2), Miss Vizeun (10/1), Final Fantasy (10/1), Numoor (10/1), Double Kodiac (20/1), The Peckhampouncer (25/1), Sea The Sand (125/1)

This can go the way of BEYOND BOUNDARIES, who possibly needed the run on return/yard debut at this track just over 5 weeks ago. The booking of Colin Keane catches the eye and he's fancied to go close should the fitting of first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Hurricane Helen wasn't beaten far here a fortnight ago so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of the John McConnell-trained pair Make The Switch and Numoor.
