Forecasts

Fiveandtwenty (1/1), King's Charisma (3/1), Herman Hesse (7/2), Kensington Art (9/2), The Navigator (15/2), Euro Implosion (16/1)

KING'S CHARISMA wasn't seen to best effect in the Melrose handicap at York on his latest outing, yet he'd previously looked an upwardly mobile 3-y-o handicapper and could well get back on the up returned to calmer waters here. Similar comments apply to Fiveandtwenty who is feared, along with Herman Hesse if taking up this engagement.
