Forecasts

Watersmeet (9/4), Velvet Revolution (3/1), Cohesion (4/1), Brandon Castle (9/2), Haines (10/1), Suegioo (12/1), Cosmelli (25/1)

It's highly probable that WATERSMEET may simply be a cut above the rest of these and he is taken to defy top-weight. With a fine record in AW staying contests he ran well in second at Chelmsford last time and though he has never won off a rating this high his performance last time suggests that it should still be a workable mark for him. He is taken to see off Brandon Castle, who should find this much easier than the Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak he finished down the field in last time out, and Velvet Revolution, who could yet make his mark at this level but perhaps needs a longer trip to produce his best form.
