Forecasts

Lord Harcourt (11/10), Dark Angel Star (5/2), Mind Over Matter (4/1), O Fortuna (10/1), Bella Delizia (11/1), Atticum (28/1), Archangel Josepi (40/1), Miss Boyd (50/1), Tanaka (50/1), Sands Of Josepi (80/1), Qila (100/1), Master Harry (125/1), Container Express (125/1), Soul Warrior (150/1)

James Tate's DARK ANGEL STAR possesses the best form on show so is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of Mind Over Matter who remains with potential despite beating only one at Ayr last time. Bella Delizia, Lord Harcourt and Atticum appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
