Forecasts

Derry Boy (5/1), Corked (11/2), Tanqeeb (11/2), Courtside (6/1), Chinese Whisperer (7/1), Bayston Hill (15/2), Voi (8/1), Secret Art (10/1), Blue Eagle (14/1), Dawn Treader (40/1)

CHINESE WHISPERER took a step back in the right direction when fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) over 8.6f at Wolverhampton recently. This intermediate trip promises to suit Alan King's charge and he earns preference ahead of Tanqeeb, who put in a good shift when third off this mark at Lingfield last time. Corked and Bayston Hill are others to consider.
