Forecasts

Desert Island Dusk (15/8), Cape Hideaway (3/1), The Doorman (10/3), Ninepointsixthree (4/1), The Herds Garden (9/1), Next Hight (33/1)

Quite competitive despite the small field and NINEPOINTSIXTHREE is suggested now stepped back up to this trip on his second start for Sam England. The Doorman is clearly in good form, but he will need to have improved to win from this mark, while The Herds Garden is interesting back over hurdles. Cape Hideaway can again show up well, but another rise for a defeat is not going to help his cause.
