Forecasts

Araifjan (2/1), Iconic Knight (4/1), Wiley Post (6/1), Musharrif (10/1), Poyle Vinnie (11/1), Steelriver (12/1), Street Parade (12/1), Mythmaker (14/1), Heer We Go Again (22/1), Pink Flamingo (22/1), Mews House (40/1)

In-form pair ARAIFJAN and Iconic Knight make most appeal but the former should be able to secure a better tactical position and is therefore preferred in a race where few appeal as being well treated. Heer We Go Again is another one to consider having hit the frame at this course on his last 2 starts.
