Forecasts

Shine's Ambition (9/4), Hougoumont (11/4), Rez (7/2), Downtown Dubai (6/1), Noble Title (6/1), No Barrier (17/2), My Delilah (14/1), Rockonmecca (16/1), Barrolo (33/1), Guidance (40/1), Cuttlestone Bridge (125/1)

REZ was closing nicely when fourth in a maiden at Wolverhampton 15 days ago and, with progress on the cards, he's preferred to Shine's Ambition, who was a good second at Newcastle last time. The penalised Hougoumont is respected and My Delilah looks the clear pick of the newcomers on paper.
