Forecasts

On The Warpath (5/1), Discovery Island (6/1), Royal Mews (6/1), Scabbard (7/1), Mouheeb (10/1), Thegreatcollection (10/1), Bochart (12/1), Down On Da Bayou (12/1), Rodaini (14/1), Tenbury Wells (14/1), Ajuste Fiscal (16/1), Almoreb (16/1), Rudy Trigger (16/1), Spirit Of Light (20/1), Almoradi (50/1), Above Normal (66/1)

A number of these have a chance on the pick of their best form, but the 2020 winner THEGREATCOLLECTION is the tentative selection. Discovery Island has had a good season and can chase the selection home, while Down On Da Bayou receives weight all round and is another to bear in mind.
