Forecasts

Give It Some Teddy (11/4), Gainsbourg (11/2), Mango Boy (13/2), Ventura Rascal (17/2), Bushfire (9/1), Shahnaz (14/1), Brunello Breeze (14/1), Copper And Five (14/1), Regal Mirage (16/1), Muhtashim (16/1), Garden Oasis (18/1), Alpha Cru (22/1), Mr Trick (28/1), Crownthorpe (33/1), Vaccine (33/1), Freddy Robinson (33/1)

REGAL MIRAGE figures off a handy mark and stepped up markedly on his reappearance effort at Beverley last month. He can return to winning ways. Shahnaz and Mango Boy are feared most.
