Forecasts

Fletcher's Flight (11/4), Dion Baker (9/2), Bluebells Boy (15/2), Porfin (15/2), Munificent (8/1), Havana Smoke (10/1), Moreginplease (11/1), Majorelle Blue (14/1), Melisende (18/1), Enchanted Night (18/1), Willowbank (25/1)

Having scored here in June, BLUEBELLS BOY was left with too much to do last time and he's worth a chance to resume winning ways in a race that should play to his strengths more. Porfin was also successful on his last visit to the track and is in good order, so he's feared most ahead of Fletcher's Flight.
