Forecasts

Blazing Son (85/40), Wade's Magic (10/3), Tashgheel (6/1), Portelet Bay (15/2), Jackmeister Rudi (9/1), Gullane One (12/1), Dirchill (14/1), Sydney Bay (16/1), Dapper Man (16/1), Le Cheval Rapide (20/1), Final Account (25/1), Cowboy Soldier (125/1)

TASHGHEEL fared better down in grade and back in headgear when fourth at Carlisle last time, stopped in his run at a crucial stage, so he could be ready to return to winning ways having dropped a long way in the weights. Blazing Son has placed here on his last 2 starts and is feared most, ahead of Wade's Magic.
