Forecasts

Rousayan (2/1), Al Khan (5/1), Sovereign Bounty (11/2), Tatlisu (13/2), Favourite Treat (11/1), Chiswick Bey (12/1), Mishaal (12/1), Talent Scout (14/1), Shah Of Armaan (40/1), Bold Spirit (50/1)

Shah Of Armaan and Talent Scout could be vying for the lead in this, with Sovereign Bounty, Mishaal and Favourite Treat, travelling close behind. Chiswick Bay, plenty conditions in his favour today and Tatlisu, one time Ayr Silver Cup winner, can go well, but preference is for, AL KHAN, who goes well in this grade and is 1lb lower than last win.
