Forecasts

Anmaat (5/6), Glentaneous (11/4), Motarajja (7/1), Mosaaheb (8/1), Sense Of Humour (14/1), Secret Box (25/1), Hesperis (80/1), English Spirit (80/1), One More Su (100/1), Dutch Angel (250/1)

GLENTANEOUS can boast a C&D win and looks to have more to offer so is taken to defy his 7 lb penalty at the chief expense of Sir Michael Stoute's Lope ee Vega newcomer Mosaaheb. Kempton debut runner-up Anmaat and debutant Motarajja are also worth considering in a very open-looking novice.
