Forecasts

Cape Columbus (5/6), Ex Gratia (9/2), Old Port (9/2), Bobby On The Beat (9/1), Rainbow Sign (10/1), Nantosuelta (22/1), Tayanna (40/1), Lady Holly (66/1), Tridevi (150/1), Paco Loco (250/1)

CAPE COLUMBUS sets a clear standard in what looks a weak maiden and can open his account at the seventh attempt in first-time headgear. Ex Gratia is an interesting newcomer and may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Old Port, who showed promise at Chelmsford on debut.
