Forecasts

Aussie Banker (4/1), Rogue Star (4/1), Ring of Light (11/2), Maysong (11/2), Nasim (8/1), Masqool (9/1), Youarenotforgiven (12/1), Arcadian Nights (18/1), Fiorina (22/1), Love Dreams (22/1), Chateau D'if (25/1), Lost In Time (40/1), Giovanni Baglione (50/1), Luckyboylovelywife (50/1)

MASQOOL arrives at the top of his game and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Aussie Banker and Ring of Light head the list of dangers.
