Forecasts

Muntadab (5/2), Shawaamekh (5/2), Gometra Ginty (4/1), Fast Medicine (7/1), Parys Mountain (11/1), Eldelbar (16/1), Magical Effect (18/1), Fennaan (25/1)

SHAWAAMEKH has been running well in defeat this season, finishing a close fourth at Chester last time off 1 lb higher, and should make a bold bid. Muntadab ran his best race for a while when scoring at Doncaster last week and needs considering under a 4 lb penalty, while Gometra Ginty was unable to complete the hat-trick at Carlisle but the return to 7f will suit.
