Forecasts

Cornerstone Lad (11/4), Breakwater Bay (9/2), Dyna Might (13/2), New Society (7/1), London Master (8/1), Marqoom (9/1), Knightsbridge Liam (12/1), Gee Sixty Six (14/1), Red Master (20/1), Royal Cosmic (22/1), Oregon Point (25/1), Mystic Maeve (100/1)

Fascinating race where the Mark Johnston-trained, Marqoom and James Bethell's, New Society will attempt to get across from stalls' 10 and 12. Both could be beaten to the rail and the lead by BREAKWATER BAY, who went off too quickly over 1m6f at Wetherby last time out, hopefully David Allen will keep a bit more in the tank over this distance.
