Forecasts

English Spirit (6/4), Coolree (9/2), Graffiti (5/1), Win Win Power (11/2), Muhalhel (7/1), Covert Legend (8/1), Tio Mio (17/2), Harbour Vision (25/1), Still Standing (50/1), Keeper's Choice (66/1)

ENGLISH SPIRIT can add to his good track record and strike under Billy Loughnane, who was on board when the 6-y-o triumphed here in November. Win Win Power is another who knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Tio Mio.
