Forecasts

Brandon Castle (11/8), Sofia's Rock (7/2), Grandee (4/1), Noble Gift (15/2), Great Hall (8/1), Euro Nightmare (16/1), Super Kid (20/1)

A trappy look to this with several that can have cases made for them but it might pay to side with NOBLE GIFT to win the race for a second time, given that he has dropped to a handy mark and conditions look to be in his favour. Sofia's Rock is feared if able to produce his best as is Brandon Castle, who scored last time, while neither Great Hall nor Grandee can be ruled out.
