Forecasts

Waleefy (11/4), Cavalry Call (7/2), Westridge (4/1), Fair Point (6/1), Historic City (9/1), Arabic Song (14/1), Socialite (16/1), God Bless America (18/1), Crafty Spirit (25/1), Thewind Cries Mary (33/1), Imperial Phoenix (50/1), Glam Squad (50/1), Risen Again (66/1), Myal (100/1), Hey Crackers (100/1), Tilsworth Silver (100/1)

CAVALRY CALL didn't seem to get home when sixth of 11 in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket and looks a sure-fire improver down in trip in what is likely to be a much weaker event. Fair Point can place again, while Saeed bin Suroor has won this twice with newcomers in recent years so Historic City needs keeping an eye on.
