Forecasts

Classic Lord (9/4), Arthur's Realm (5/2), Can Can Girl (5/1), Prison Break (5/1), Norman Kindu (10/1), Branston Dancer (14/1), Valley Of Flowers (20/1), Pride Of Nepal (20/1), Golden Dove (25/1), Arthur Norse (33/1), Otto Oyl (50/1), Jazper (80/1), Northern General (200/1)

CLASSIC LORD came on plenty for his debut effort when getting off the mark at the second attempt in a Goodwood maiden 25 days ago, wisely ridden prominently to make the most of his stamina. He can overcome a wide draw and defy a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Arthur's Realm and Can Can Girl head up the dangers, along with newcomer Branston Dancer.
