Forecasts

Global Acclamation (3/1), Queen Of Burgundy (3/1), Sovereign Moon (16/5), Bartat (8/1), Wiff Waff (17/2), Arthur Conan Doyle (11/1), Kodimoor (14/1), First Verse (16/1), Rania (25/1), River Chorus (25/1), Hanoverian King (33/1), Ruby Lily (33/1), Havergate Island (40/1), Agreeable (80/1), Dilly Rosa (100/1)

An open low-grade affair to kick the card off and SOVEREIGN MOON holds most appeal. She's been acquitting herself without winning all summer and deserves to get her head in front. Global Acclamation is feared following his Lingfield success. Queen of Burgundy also holds each-way claims.
