Forecasts

Outbox (11/8), Tribal Craft (9/2), Persian Moon (5/1), Stivers (5/1), Vivid Diamond (7/1), Mackaar (16/1)

Argentine star Stivers is very hard to assess but it would be unwise to rule him out on his European bow as he represents one of the great international trainers. The choice though is definitely OUTBOX, who has a touch of class, is proven at the trip, and comes out top on official figures. Vivid Diamond is a potential improver going up in distance and is preferred to her stable companion Persian Moon, while blinkers may help Mackaar show a little more after a poor run last time.
