Forecasts

Cirque Royal (5/2), Faylaq (4/1), Baasem (11/2), Never Do Nothing (13/2), Persian Moon (7/1), Apparate (8/1), Holy Kingdom (9/1), Cap Francais (9/1), Court Poet (11/1), Rhythmic Intent (12/1), Travel On (16/1), I'll Have Another (16/1), Fox Vardy (16/1), Zuba (25/1)

A very good race with some improving types lining-up. Preference is narrowly for FAYLAQ to return to winning ways after a short-break. His second over C&D last time was decent but it was his third outing in as many weeks and there's still more to come now freshened up. It's hard not to be impressed by the two wins of Cirque Royal and now gelded, on handicap debut, he is open to more improvement whilst Never Do Nothing is admirably consistent and could make the frame at a fair price.
