Forecasts

Manamite (7/4), Cornerstone Lad (3/1), Keyboard Gangster (6/1), Aristo Du Plessis (6/1), Ninepointsixthree (8/1), Beyondtemptation (10/1), Altruism (25/1), Will O'The West (33/1)

Verdict

Fast-improving MANAMITE is up 10lb for his recent 6L success at Musselburgh but this lightly-raced six-year-old is one to remain on the right side of at present so worth sticking with here. Progressive Cornerstone Lad remains in good form and despite like the selection tackling a career-high mark today he rates a big danger. Ninepointsixthree has been running well this season and is always a threat when getting his own way upfront.
  1. Manamite
  2. Cornerstone Lad
  3. Ninepointsixthree
