Forecasts

Kampala Beach (5/2), Portreath (10/3), The Mpex Kid (5/1), Lord Park (5/1), Mads Black Eights (9/1), Sleepless Knight (11/1), Shining Aitch (16/1), River Derwent (18/1), Harriet Eagle (20/1), Just Another Eagle (25/1), Halcyon Spirit (25/1), Monnow Valley (25/1), Wajaaha (28/1), Lady Leanora (40/1), Dance Emperor (40/1), Is That So (50/1), Grizabella (150/1)

KAMPALA BEACH has a mixed record on turf this season but he's better on AW and is potentially on a good mark back on this surface. The Mpex Kid is lurking on a dangerous mark so is next best ahead of Portreath.
