Forecasts

Cultivator (4/7), Pilansberg (6/1), Milzipa (15/2), Jennifer Eccles (8/1), See The World (10/1), Just Before Dawn (12/1), Mr Fenton (33/1), Doolin (40/1), Mab Dab (66/1), Just For William (66/1)

Verdict

CULTIVATOR didn't excel himself with a moody display in a Grade 1 event at Sandown last time so he arrives here with something to prove but he easily sets the standard on earlier form and could prove a cut above unless the reintroduction of blinkers have a galvanising effect on Pilansberg. Just Before Dawn would be of interest if the market vibes are positive.
