Forecasts

Mazyoun (2/1), Ahlan Bil Zain (6/1), Georgian Bay (13/2), Golden Wedding (15/2), The Warrior (8/1), Eltezam (11/1), Run To The Hills (12/1), Timeless Art (16/1), Dutch Uncle (20/1), Presumido (25/1), War Of Succession (50/1)

Ascot winner GEORGIAN BAY can register his fourth AW victory by taking this competitive looking 7f handicap. The selection saw off 13 rivals on his most recent outing and has won off a higher mark here in the past. Ahlan Bill Zain is less exposed than most of his rivals today and can step up on his most recent AW effort by finishing runner-up today. Mazyoun impressed when winning over 7f here last week and is taken to finish third here.
