Forecasts

Verdict

MOKTASAAB is unbeaten since joining William Knight and had something up his sleeve at Goodwood last time, so he makes plenty of appeal bidding for the hat-trick. Cap Francais looks as good as ever and looks a threat, while Bad Company could be dangerous if allowed his own way at the head of affairs.

  1. MOKTASAAB
  2. CAP FRANCAIS
  3. BAD COMPANY
