Forecasts

Crown Knott (7/4), Portcullis (11/4), Santushti (10/3), North Beach (6/1), Bemersyde (12/1), Impierious (25/1), Dark Whisper (33/1), Take A Chill Pill (33/1), Cosmo Brown (66/1), Me An' All (100/1)

A long-established race at this meeting for 3-y-o newcomers and the market looks sure to provide plenty of clues. Preference is for PORTCULLIS who makes most appeal on pedigree for a yard with a good record in this. Godolphin's Crown Knott can't be ignored, while North Beach is another to note representing last year's winning trainer.
