Forecasts

Galapiat (11/10), Sindarban (13/2), William Hunter (7/1), Michael's Mount (8/1), Ruwasi (9/1), Thames Knight (10/1), Barwick (12/1), Whinging Willie (25/1), Royal Marskell (25/1)

GALAPIAT was impressive on his return to action and he could still be well-handicapped despite his rise in the weights and the fact that effort came on an undulating track, should help him handle the camber here. Marcus Tregoning has a fair record with horses returning from a break and Thames Knight could go well here once again after winning and finihsing runner-up on his two previous starts on the track. William Hunter may enjoy the return to turf and could be the best of the rest.
