Forecasts

Will Sommers (3/1), Al Khabeer (4/1), Cote d'Azur (5/1), Five Helmets (6/1), Regal Mirage (8/1), Jupiter Road (10/1), El Naseri (14/1), Bit Of A Quirke (16/1), Zihaam (18/1), Ring Of Gold (18/1), Lord Torranaga (20/1), Thomas Cranmer (22/1), Dr Rio (25/1), Fannie By Gaslight (33/1), Vampish (33/1)

AL KHABEER may have been unsuited by conditions at Hamilton last time and, having produced a good effort over C&D on his previous outing, he's worth another chance to build on that. Fellow 3-y-o Will Sommers could make an impression if he gets going soon enough and the hat-trick seeking Jupiter Road can't be ignored.
