Forecasts

Philos (7/4), Bailar Contigo (10/3), Little Tiger (4/1), Optik (9/2), Schumann (12/1), Petite Sioux (16/1), Dawn Mission (40/1), Clementyne (200/1)

This represents a good opportunity for PHILOS to open his account. He was unlucky not to do so at Beverley last week and the booking of William Buick adds to his appeal. Optik failed to measure up to market expectations on his handicap debut at Windsor but could be about to take a step forward now upped in trip. Best of the rest is Bailar Contigo, who produced her best effort yet over 9.5f here last time and is also likely to benefit from this stiffer test.
