Forecasts

New Endeavour (2/1), Lunatick (6/1), Berkshire Phantom (7/1), Animate (7/1), Diamond Vega (8/1), Alpha Crucis (17/2), Ertebat (10/1), Awtaad Prince (11/1), Dark Trooper (12/1), Ajjaj (25/1), Strictly Dreaming (150/1)

ERTEBAT pulled clear of the rest when second to a similarly progressive type at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and remains of plenty of interest stepping up to 7f. Lunatick and New Endeavour head the dangers after making eye-catching reappearances at Windsor and York respectively.
