Forecasts

Today Please (13/8), Cape Caster (2/1), Saffron Prince (13/2), River Purple (7/1), Guanciale (17/2)

There's the possibility of a false pace here, as none of these has made the running in any of their recent races. A chance is taken that RIVER PURPLE might hold onto his form for another run or two now he's found it, as he's still nicely handicapped on his best form and has conditions to suit. Today Please isn't doing anything wrong but has a bit more weight on his back this time, and may need a touch more to win again. Cape Caster comes from a yard going better and should go well if putting in a clear round.
