Forecasts

Suitcase 'n' Taxi (5/2), Royal Brave (5/2), Quayside (3/1), Canford Bay (6/1), Normal Equilibrium (8/1)

Verdict

Royal Brave is sure to appreciate these slightly calmer waters than which he has been tested in of late and has sound claims. QUAYSIDE won well at Haydock before bumping into a thriving rival last time and can win again. Canford Bay is not easily dismissed either, in what is a very tight little race.
