Forecasts

Blu Boy (5/6), Cosmos Raj (15/8), Fast Medicine (11/4), Cuban Dancer (5/1)

BLU BOY is enjoying an excellent season and taken to garner win number four of 2021 after being nudged up just 2 lb for his recent Beverley success. Cuban Dancer is fancied to get back on track after doing too much in front there last time and in-form Fast Medicine ought to be in the shake-up too in an open handicap.
