Forecasts

Special Mayson (5/4), Motawaazy (9/2), Westmorian (5/1), Gracelands Girl (5/1), Newyorkstateofmind (10/1), Roundhay Park (11/1), Fai Fai (50/1)

After 6 months off, SPECIAL MAYSON did well under the circumstances when third here a fortnight ago, racing more towards the centre of the track than the pair that finished ahead of him, so he is taken to build on that effort and gain a second course success. Westmorian returned to form last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Newyorkstateofmind.
