Forecasts

Listen To The Wind (5/4), Reggae Runner (3/1), Hold Still (7/2), Shanghai Grace (5/1), Entertaining (6/1)

The ground could well be the key to Listen To The Wind who sets a fair standard having won in the style of a progressive sort at Yarmouth last time. The booking of Cieren Fallon in effect cancels out the penalty gained for her win last time but Sandown second HOLD STILL may just offer a little more value. That form may not be as good as it looked at the time but William Muir’s charge didn’t get the run of the race and this may suit better. Shanghai Grace and Reggae Runner both have questions to answer with the former looking to now be in the grip of the handicapper and the latter needing to find his form after two insignificant starts.
