Forecasts

Alotaibi (8/11), Wanees (10/3), Hannibal Barca (4/1), Brilliant Blue (12/1), Petrila (50/1), Everyonelovesagrey (66/1), Land Of Eagles (150/1)

Hard to get away from ALOTAIBI, who won readily on debut at Newbury 3 weeks ago (Wanees 7½ lengths back in sixth) and looks the clear form pick even under a penalty. Wanees is well bred and should get closer this time, while Hannibal Barca is easily the most interesting newcomer.
