Forecasts

Brigand (8/11), Alba Del Sole (7/2), Maypole (4/1), Arden Pearl (6/1), Episcia (7/1), Rose Tinted Spirit (14/1), Mother of Dragons (20/1), Demons And Wizards (50/1), Sandkissed (100/1)

Arden Pearl and Episcia bring modest winning form into this and both look vulnerable on these terms. Alba De Sole shaped better over this trip last time and appears to be heading in the right direction. A BHA rating of just 70 suggests she is only average though and preference is for BRIGAND. The Willie Haggas team have an excellent record around here and this speedily bred sort will be all the better for his Pontefract introduction. The stable continue in outstanding form and their AW juveniles have a good strike rate this year.
