Forecasts

Power Of Gold (11/4), Cooperation (11/4), Believe You Me (9/2), Soi Dao (6/1), Marsh Benham (7/1), Ultramarine (10/1), Diamondsinthesand (25/1), Double Time (40/1)

COOPERATION has done the bulk of his winning on turf and came out a ready winner having his first start on this surface for these connections at Newmarket on Friday. He's able to race off the same mark here so should take plenty of beating. Three-time C&D winner Believe You Me should come on for her return so is next best ahead of Power of Gold.
