Forecasts

Siskany (5/4), Siam Fox (9/4), Barn Owl (10/3), Landing System (13/2), Expect To Succeed (14/1), Graystone (28/1), Mihrab (33/1), Saratoga Gold (66/1), Liger King (80/1), Merlin's Mission (100/1), Lindwall (100/1), Beautiful Crown (200/1), Mazzorbo (200/1)

Dubawi-colt SISKANY makes plenty of appeal on pedigree as the first foal of an unraced half-sister to high-class 1½m winner Manatee, and following an encouraging debut run under a tender ride at Sandown a fortnight ago, he's expected to improve a lot. Siam Fox has a brace of runner-up efforts to his name and is the obvious threat, though Barn Owl may be a different proposition this time.
