FORGIVABLE, a half-brother to five winners, has improved with every run and his dame handled give in the ground. The Iffraaj colt gets the nod ahead of less-exposed Haydock third Speranzoso and Royal Rift, who didn’t handle the turns at Bath on his second start. Another Investment was a surprise winner over 6f here last month and is penalised but there are possibilities about Matvei Platov, who was only beaten half-a-length on soft going at Hamilton, and the once-raced Haggas filly Invasive. Newcomer Octopus will need further so The Cookstown Cafu and Blenheim Boy look best of the rest.
