Forecasts

Devizes (5/2), La Belle Vie (3/1), Dirham Emirati (9/2), Sociologist (13/2), Abraaj (10/1), Livalot (10/1), Tradesman (14/1), Tying The Knot (28/1), Creationist (33/1), Hopeforthebest (33/1), Chankaya (33/1), Divination (66/1), Broadshare (66/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SOCIOLOGIST is fancied to gain a deserved success on the back of a string of good efforts. Course scorer Devizes could emerge as the main danger ahead of in-form pair Tradesman and Livalot.
