Forecasts

Beautiful Diamond (5/6), Purosangue (11/8), Toca Madera (9/2), Queen's Guard (8/1), Mon Na Slieve (11/1), Bombay Bazaar (20/1), Alfa Moonstone (150/1)

PUROSANGE was going the right way prior to a slight blip when only second in a listed contest at York last time and, with the ground likely to come in his favour, he takes preference over Beautiful Diamond, who is closely matched with the selection on form. Queen's Guard is the type to do better still and looks an interesting outsider.
