Forecasts

Marbuzet (13/8), Cascade Hall (11/4), Zephlyn (9/2), Gastronomy (17/2), Myboymax (11/1), Palazzo Persico (11/1), Arctic Fox (28/1), Red Force One (40/1), Unique Spirit (125/1)

MARBUZET edged out Cascade Hall at Ayr and is fancied to follow up having gone close in this race 12 months ago. His rival has fewer miles on the clock and should go well again, while Red Force One should be much closer to form on the back of his Southwell return.
