Forecasts

Blackcurrent (4/1), Ustath (4/1), Khulu (5/1), Iesha (17/2), Tomshalfbrother (11/1), Brandy Station (11/1), Atyaaf (12/1), Tom Tulliver (12/1), Harrogate (18/1), High Security (22/1), Raabeh (28/1), Billy Dylan (28/1), Koropick (33/1), Kodiak Attack (40/1)

USTATH is down the weights and has been knocking on the door lately, so he takes preference over the in-form Iesha in a wide-open sprint handicap. Khulu is 2 from 2 over C&D and capable of bouncing back after a break, so he's one of several others to consider.
