Forecasts

Defoe (13/8), Frontiersman (15/8), To Eternity (9/2), Horseplay (12/1), Wall of Fire (14/1), Agent Murphy (16/1), The Tartan Spartan (16/1), Crimean Tatar (25/1), Harlequeen (25/1)

Verdict

FRONTIERSMAN looks the one to side with having proven himself above this level already this season. Defoe is clearly still on the upgrade and will enjoy conditions while Harlequeen may resume progress after a disappointing run last time out.
