Form: 12

Three Cliffs Bay⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Lewis Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams

Forecasts

The Jukebox Man (3/1), Insurrection (3/1), Montys Soldier (10/3), Shillanavogy (15/2), He Knows Better (9/1), Peso In My Pocket (9/1), Genietoile (12/1), Three Cliffs Bay (18/1)

INSURRECTION has already won a point and his top yard has dominated this sphere in 2022/23, so he gets the nod ahead of The Jukebox Man, who was an excellent second on his Rules debut at Chepstow. Shillanavogy is another interesting recruit from points.
