Forecasts

Batal Dubai (11/10), Tribal Hunter (4/1), Paspaley (5/1), Shine's Ambition (13/2), Orbital Chime (15/2), Derwent Boy (10/1), Lamation (25/1), Havana Rum (66/1), Malinheadsearovers (200/1), Indication Rocket (200/1), Little Red Dancer (200/1)

BATAL DUBAI let favourite backers down at Salisbury but is given another chance to show he's a useful prospect. Fellow winner Tribal Hunter may give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding William Haggas newcomer Paspaley.
