Forecasts
Al Watan (4/5), Royal Air Force (5/4), Codebook (9/5), Golden Claim (11/4)
Second-best on debut at Newbury, AL WATAN can go one better here with the experience to stand to him. Codebook will keep him honest, while Royal Air Force may have something to offer first time out and Golden Claim is entitled to improve on his second outing too.
