Forecasts

Khatm (10/11), Motawaafeq (4/1), Baron Run (6/1), Six Strings (13/2), Bond Angel (13/2), Equidae (10/1), Global Melody (28/1)

KHATM is difficult to oppose if turned out quickly having bumped into another on the up at Lingfield on Wednesday in his bid for a five-timer. He's won twice here this month already and should take all the beating under a double penalty. Bond Angel will be a threat after her C&D victory last week. Six Strings can't be ruled out either after Monday's Wolverhampton win.
