Forecasts

Louisiana Bay (5/6), The Bay Warrior (7/2), Molly Mischief (13/2), Damoiseau (16/1), Franco Grasso (16/1), Kintaro (20/1), Bay Of Naples (22/1), Iftikhaar (40/1), Persian Wolf (40/1), Straitouttacompton (80/1)

LOUISIANA BAY looked better than ever when a facile Lingfield scorer a week ago and this course winner can make light of a 5 lb penalty. The Bay Warrior is weighted to give Jack Jones's thriving mare most to do ahead of in-form pair Persian Wolf and Molly Mischief who can fight it out for minor honours.
