Forecasts

Dirty Rascal (1/1), Marhaba Milliar (7/2), Enough Already (6/1), Gambon (7/1), Dutch Treat (9/1), Walkman (20/1)

A race which will undoubtedly prove informative for the future with a number of noteworthy newcomers in the line-up, with Enough Already and MARHABA MILLIAR both likely types. Dirty Rascal has the strongest form on offer and he looks certain to come on a bundle for his Windsor debut second (winner won since), but the advice is to chance the John Gosden-trained newcomer who is a half-brother to the useful Group 2 winning juvenile Queen Kindly.
