Forecasts

Ekhtiyaar (9/4), The Feathered Nest (7/1), Bacchus (8/1), Ultimate Avenue (8/1), Merlin (8/1), Nobly Born (9/1), Silent Echo (10/1), Dark Power (12/1), Stanhope (12/1), Victory Angel (16/1), Repton (33/1), Smokey Lane (33/1), Parnassian (33/1), Waqaas (50/1)

Merlin and Stanhope should ensure this is run at a solid gallop, and that should suit the improving EKTIYAAR , doing little wrong at present and might have more to come. The Feathered Nest is still at the right end of the handicap and she's the sort that will run through a brick wall to win. She holds every chance of getting in the frame again, as should Bacchus and Victory Angel.
