Forecasts

Bowling Russian (13/8), Mr Fayez (10/3), Shamshon (6/1), Minhaaj (15/2), Nigg Bay (17/2), Doc Sportello (11/1), Apache Jewel (12/1)

MINHAAJ should find this a good deal easier than the big-field Ascot Class 4 she contested on her return to action and might be able to deny veteran Shamshon a 17th career win.
