Forecasts

Miramichi (10/3), General Lee (7/2), American Flag (4/1), Conservative (6/1), Rogue Rocket (8/1), Makinmedoit (11/1), Carp Kid (14/1), Gangway (16/1), Hyanna (22/1)

Back up in trip, GENERAL LEE produced his best effort of the season when runner-up at Newbury 19 days ago, soon going well clear before headed only in the final furlong. The 4-y-o can return to winning ways this time around, while Miramichi can get back on track to pose the biggest threat to the selection. Gangway completes the shortlist.
