Forecasts

Noble Anthem (10/11), Arch Moon (3/1), Carrigillihy (11/2), Unplugged (11/2), Glasses Up (7/1), Royal Regent (22/1)

The form of NOBLE ANTHEM'S fourth at Newcastle looks to be very strong, with the winner Eldar Eldarov going on to land the Queen's Vase, so he looks to be on a fair opening mark and can make a successful handicap debut. Arch Moon could be the main danger after recording a 6-length victory at Haydock last time, while Unplugged remains with handicapping scope if able to build on his belated return.
