Forecasts

Bishop's Glory (5/2), Duchray (5/2), Strength 'n Honour (7/2), Sol Cayo (8/1), Absolutelyflawless (11/1), Ascending Glory (12/1), Ignac Lamar (16/1), Rhodium (66/1)

DUCHRAY has to be considered the one to beat on the back of his winning debut on turf at Pontefract on Monday, although a strong market move for well-bred Archie Watson newcomer Bishop's Glory would put a slightly different slant on things. Strength 'N Honour ought to build on his promising opening run at Leicester, while Absolutelyflawless is another debutante to monitor in the betting.
