Forecasts

Mark Of Gold (10/11), Tuddenham Green (4/1), Motazzen (6/1), Tibbie Dunbar (12/1), Capone (14/1), Tin Fandango (16/1), Byron Hill (20/1), Anisoptera (20/1), First Quest (40/1), Capstan (66/1), Lusaka (80/1)

MARK OF GOLD is without a run on the level since 2021 but he has enjoyed an excellent time of it over hurdles for Gary Moore and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark back on the Flat now. Capone has a long absence to overcome but goes well fresh and is another who is weighted to have a big say. In-form pair Tuddenham Green and Anisoptera both command lots of respect too.
