Betting Forecast: 7-4 Sunset Bay (GB), 6-1 Delta River (GB), 8-1 Blackcastle Storm (GB), 9-1 Mr Tyrrell (IRE), 14-1 Newton Jack (GB), 16-1 Top Secret (GB), Mammasaidknockuout (IRE), 18-1 Masked Identity (GB), 25-1 Spring Romance (IRE), 33-1 Gavi di Gavi (IRE), 80-1 Hit The Silk (IRE) Race Summary: SUNSET BAY is a 3-y-o heading in the right direction and holds strong claims off the same mark as when second (well clear of the third) at Salisbury last week. Blackcastle Storm has performed with credit on both previous visits here and can bounce back from a lesser run at Yarmouth and provide the chief threat ahead of Delta River.
