Forecasts

Beach Point (13/8), Man Of Desert (9/4), Sweet Reward (9/4), Alcaraz (7/1), Croeso Cymraeg (9/1), Baltic Voyage (10/1), Silver Nightfall (11/1), Forca Timao (16/1), Arkendale (50/1)

The fact that BEACH POINT is to be turned out again just 15 days on from his low-key display at Kempton suggests that all is well and William Knight's charge, who was knocking on the door prior to that, is taken to get his head in front here with Oisin Murphy booked. Man of Desert may be the one to give him most to think about, ahead of Silver Nightfall.
