Forecasts

Acquiescent (11/4), San Martino (3/1), Star Harbour (16/5), Zephron (7/2), Corps Des Pages (4/1), Rebel Tale (12/1), Coins Cross (12/1)

SAN MARTINO never featured at Royal Ascot but he had previously run with promise when second in a small-field minor event at Listowel and, back at the scene of his sole success, he may well bounce back. Star Harbour and Corps Des Pages head up the dangers.
