Forecasts

Wahraan (2/5), Pennymoor (10/3), Pirouette Queen (15/2), El Hamra (14/1), Hellenista (22/1), Alkhattaaf (25/1), Great Commission (25/1), Its Time To Shine (50/1), Sea The Girl (150/1), Thesethingshappen (150/1), Sands Fury (250/1), Cleofe (300/1)

It's very hard to see past WAHRAAN who showed pretty useful form when second in a Salisbury handicap last time and looks capable of even better still. Godolphin-owned pair Alkhattaaf and Pennymoor can step up on their debut efforts and fight it out for the minor honours.
