Forecasts

Imposing Supreme (7/2), War Hero (9/2), Khafaaq (5/1), Raphael (6/1), Bobby K (15/2), Irish Poseidon (8/1), Katiymann (11/1), David Garrick (12/1), Parkers Hill (18/1), Elite Craft (20/1), Eden Gardens (22/1), Nashy (25/1), Characteristic (28/1), Twenty Minutes (28/1), First Flight (50/1), Reminiscent (100/1)

Lots with chances but IMPOSING SUPREME got back on track when runner-up over C&D last time and is weighted to have a big say here. War Hero is always to be respected at this track and rates the chief threat on the back of a good recent second, while in-form duo Khafaaq and Raphael are both in the picture too.
