Forecasts

Max Of Stars (15/8), Zephlyn (3/1), Lord Torranaga (3/1), Myboymax (15/2), The Resdev Way (11/1), Baby Sham (14/1), Robeam (100/1), Fast Deal (150/1), Third Avenue (150/1)

Verdict

ZEPHLYN arrives on the back of a good second at Musselburgh 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more. Veteran The Resdev Way is also worth a look back from an absence having twice run well on all weather earlier this year. Max of Stars is also worth a second look given she remains low-mileage on the Flat.

  1. ZEPHLYN (IRE)
