Forecasts

Cliff Bay (7/2), Mustaqbal (7/2), Bo Bridget (7/2), Infamous Lawman (4/1), She's Pukka (9/2), Chinese Spirit (6/1), Dellaguista (9/1), Spes Nostra (22/1), Riviere Argentee (25/1), Dwight D (50/1)

Mustaqbal will be popular after winning last time, though this extra furlong looks likely to stretch him, while She's Pukka probably has claims, though she didn't beat much on debut and will need to have come on a fair bit from that to follow up. Preference, therefore, is for CLIFF BAY, who escapes a penalty for winning last time and can repeat the dose from this mark. Irish raider Bo Bridget had to be respected, while Dellaguista would be very interesting if supported.
