Forecasts

Tribal Chief (2/1), Salamanca City (11/4), Beach Point (11/4), Atlantic Gamble (7/2), Baroque Buoy (13/2), Saachi (7/1), Miss Sunset Strip (12/1), Heavenly Fire (12/1), True Blue Gent (18/1), Too Much Trevor (20/1), Montecristo Gold (25/1), Duke Wellington (25/1), Merrimack (125/1)

BEACH POINT impressed when scoring at Doncaster last month and wasn't seen to best effect when second at Lingfield next time. There are more races to be won with him this season and he gets the narrow vote over Tribal Chief, who showed a good attitude to open his account at Nottingham recently. This looks a strong race for the grade and Atlantic Gamble, a stablemate of the selection, is one of several others who are worthy of consideration.
