FORBIDDEN CITY defied an absence of almost three years when making all at Wolverhampton last month. He's changed stables again and is 4lb higher but this looks an even worse race so he can make a winning debut for Peter Fahey. Noverre Princess has won once in 29 starts and was behind Stoichkhov when the latter won here in November, though that looked a very moderate heat. Coach Bombay hasn't run over a trip this short since 2011 but Victor's Beach, who won from a mark of 71 here last January, is 13lb lower though even better handicapped on Turf. Beat The Ballot hasn't won for over two years but has dropped 9lb as a consequence and can carry his big weight with distinction.
