Forecasts

Harbour Beacon (3/1), Spruce Meadows (4/1), Le Vagabond (8/1), De Coronado (8/1), Act Of Valour (8/1), Political Policy (12/1), Ringside Humour (14/1), Specific Gravity (16/1), Power Grid (16/1), Tonkinese (20/1), Vastonea (20/1), Brokopondo (20/1), Poitin (25/1), Presidio (33/1)

Poitin ran well at Cork in June when last spotted and is given a chance back at this venue but DE CORONADO could reverse that form now. The Ballydoyle inmate was poor over a longer trip since but is weighted well for this and won a maiden on his only previous spin around this track over a mile. In what looks a wide open contest, there are plenty for whom cases can be made. The lightly-raced Harbour Beacon is sporting blinkers for this handicap debut and any support would be worth noting while Ringside Humour, Specific Gravity and Political Policy are always respected here.
