Forecasts

Bobby K (9/4), Whatharm (10/3), Imposing Supreme (5/1), Well Suited (17/2), Will Be King (12/1), Legal Thriller (12/1), At War (14/1), Sagittarius Rising (20/1), Point Reyes (22/1), The Mpex Kid (25/1), Alhajjaj (33/1), Allegio (33/1), Dark Magic (40/1)

BOBBY K has dropped to a handy mark and could be the one to side with having shaped well when last seen over this C&D. Whatharm lost his unbeaten record here 3 weeks ago but looks the main danger to the selection after a 3 week break, ahead of Well Suited and Legal Thriller, in a typically-competitive handicap.
