Forecasts

Camacho Star (2/1), Vondelpark (11/4), Dagmar Run (13/2), Neptune Legend (7/1), To The Bar (8/1), South Dakota Sioux (10/1), Bingley Crocker (14/1), A Pint Of Bear (16/1), Plumette (16/1), Cailin Saoirse (50/1)

CAMACHO STAR has a solid record on all-weather and is fancied to make it 2 wins from 3 starts since undergoing a breathing operation. Vondelpark found only a well-treated sort too good on his penultimate outing and will be a big threat if returning to that sort of form, with Plumette another to consider returning from a break given her good record when fresh.
