Forecasts

Glistening Nights (10/3), Star Cast (7/2), Dawn Of Liberation (9/2), Velvet Whisper (5/1), Garden Oasis (11/2), No Knee Never (11/1), Triple Force (11/1), Poet's Dawn (18/1), Bass Player (33/1), Jewel Maker (50/1), Tiberio Force (80/1), Nanny Park (80/1)

Verdict

Course specialist GARDEN OASIS has shown he retains all his ability at the age of 11 and can go one better on a rare try beyond 1m dropped in grade. Star Cast has been in great form at Newcastle this year and should continue to give a good account despite shouldering a penalty. No Knee Never is also respected, while Velvet Whisper makes some appeal on the back of her reappearance run, particularly if the rain arrives.
