Forecasts

Mustazeed (10/11), Time Interval (4/1), Invincible Soldier (4/1), Dual Identity (10/1), Arthur's Angel (18/1), Cuban Cigar (25/1), Professor Calculus (25/1)

MUSTAZEED's latest Sandown third looks a good piece of form in the context of this race so he's fancied to get his head back in front. Salisbury-winner Invincible Soldier is also going the right way and can give Chris Wall's charge most to think about.
