Forecasts

Celestial Force (7/4), Heart Of Soul (9/2), So Near So Farhh (8/1), Gabrial The One (8/1), Bailarico (8/1), Nafaayes (8/1), Angel Gabrial (10/1), Lord Lamington (12/1), Zihaam (14/1), Overhaugh Street (16/1)

NAFAAYES has plenty going for her and is a fairly confident choice to send punters home happy. She seemed to enjoy this circuit when winning nicely over C&D in July and back on a decent surface could make them all go. Top weight Celestial Force is a danger for a yard that does so well here and may conceivably improve for this first try at two miles, and Bailarico is respected having failed to stay the marathon 2m4f trip last time at Goodwood. So Near So Farrh and Overhaugh Street are among others with a shout in an interesting closing event.
