Forecasts

Yucatan (2/1), Capri (5/2), Douglas Macarthur (8/1), Dubai Sand (8/1), Saltonstall (8/1), Grandee (10/1), Brutal (14/1), Rekindling (16/1), Legitimus (33/1)

Verdict

YUCATAN should be suited by the step up in trip and has close form with Capri who is also worth consideration. Grandee may prove to be some each-way value in what could be a fascinating betting heat.
  1. Yucatan
  2. Capri
  3. Grandee
