Forecasts

Agostino (7/4), Recon Mission (5/2), Nelson Gay (9/2), Darkened Edge (15/2), Mick's Spirit (14/1), Battle Point (14/1), Vitalline (20/1), Colors Of Freedom (25/1), Lil Wade (150/1)

Verdict

RECON MISSION is twice a course and distance winner who took a step in the right direction when third at Bath recently. Returns to a favoured track and can regain the winning thread. Darkened Edge has been fairly reliable at this level and could be competitive on the all-weather surface. Nelson Gay, a nine-time winner, is potentially on a nice mark if bouncing back.
