Forecasts

Sea On Time (15/8), Duelist (9/4), Balhambar (11/4), Matched (9/2), Season In The Sun (80/1), Contessa Verde (100/1), Nicolas Andry (100/1), Majestic (125/1), Street View (150/1), Team Endeavour (200/1)

BALHAMBAR improved from his debut when third at Salisbury 15 days ago and he can continue his progress to get off the mark at the third attempt. He is preferred to Duelist, who hasn't lived up to expectations on his 2 runs so far this season but could get back on track now upped in trip. Sea On Time is the only unraced runner in the line-up but she looks an interesting contender with her yard in fantastic form.
