Forecasts

Sir Galahad (7/4), Caprelo (11/4), Rosy Kiss (4/1), Free Speech (11/1), Sovereign Nation (12/1), Tactical Control (14/1), Claxton Bay (18/1), Pegasus Of Harry (22/1)

CAPRELO is bred to be well suited by this longer trip and, in theory, should be better than a mark of 69 based on pedigree, so he's worth taking a chance on making his seasonal/handicap debut. Sir Galahad is another one who should make a better 3-y-o and Free Speech looks the most solid of the remainder.
