Forecasts

Baileys Khelstar (11/10), Hellenista (6/5), Flint Hill (7/2), Golden Keeper (9/2), September Power (13/2), Captain Potter (10/1)

BAILEYS KHELSTAR is an upwardly-mobile 3yo who should find this longer trip to his liking, so he takes preference over Hellenista, who usually runs her race. Golden Keeper is the pick of the remainder.
