Forecasts

Fairbanks (4/6), Coyote Spirit (11/4), Timeless Treaty (15/2), Noticebox (10/1), Bryson (16/1), Whiskey On Ice (20/1), Avalo (25/1), Is She Now (33/1), Centaq (66/1), Saint Peregrine (100/1), Run Away Merida (100/1), Gallant Getaway (100/1), Rynok Square (125/1), Itcantjustbeluck (150/1), Lucky This Time (150/1), Pourquoi Poi (200/1), Genomix (200/1)

Verdict

FAIRBANKS is a classy recruit to hurdling having won a Heritage Handicap at the Newmarket July Festival last year and he could be hard to beat. Bumper winner Coyote Spirit should have a future in this sphere, while his unraced stablemate Timeless Treaty is certainly bred for the job.
