Forecasts

Samui (7/4), Fox Journey (5/1), Spirit Mixer (11/2), Ranch Hand (13/2), Struth (13/2), Sheradann (13/2), Wickywickywheels (15/2), Tides Of War (8/1), The Grand Visir (11/1), Beamish (12/1), Zealandia (33/1)

Many of these have a point to prove for one reason or another. SPIRIT MIXER probably isn't quite the same horse that he was when just edged out by Trueshan off a 12 lb higher mark in the 2022 Northumberland Plate, but there was enough in his latest effort over a marathon trip at the big Goodwood meeting to make him of strong interest here under a talented French rider. Beamish and Fox Journey both look dangerous, but they could all be in trouble if Irish raider Samui makes the cut.
