Forecasts

Banddar (13/8), Maxi King (9/2), Mutaany (11/2), Scholarship (10/1), Royal Dress (10/1), Danger Alert (12/1), In The Trenches (14/1), Sound Pressure (16/1), Gifted Angel (25/1), Lakota Blue (100/1)

BANDDAR showed plenty work on when fifth at Ascot 3 weeks ago and that form is working out very well. He shades the vote over Maxi King, who sets the standard on his debut second at Nottingham 9 days ago. Danger Alert makes the most appeal of the newcomers on paper, though the market will obviously guide.
