Forecasts

Quantum King (10/11), Val D'orcia (7/2), Theory Of Flight (9/2), Paisley Park (9/2), Sheldon (11/2), Visiway (14/1), Epic Dream (28/1)

SHELDON needs to bounce back but is interesting on handicap debut. Val D'orcia is fancied to beat the rest, while Theory Of Flight also needs a second look.
