Forecasts

Reel Prospect (9/4), Bearaway (10/3), Shifter (4/1), Busby (9/2), Loom Large (16/1), Jumeira Vision (20/1), Epona Pas (20/1), Royal Countess (22/1), Farhhfromforgotten (33/1), Moondial (50/1), Hawkes Bay (125/1)

BUSBY is the only one who arrives on the back of a good effort (third at Newcastle) and he looks the most solid option returning to turf. Jumeira Vision should be back on track having his second outing for the yard and Reel Prospect can't be dismissed from a sliding mark.
