Forecasts

Badri (5/2), Bedford Flyer (7/2), Mondammej (7/1), Korker (10/1), Makanah (10/1), Vintage Clarets (12/1), Fine Wine (12/1), King Of Bavaria (12/1), Intrinsic Bond (14/1), The Thin Blue Line (28/1), Look Out Louis (28/1), Arecibo (33/1), Elegant Erin (40/1), One Night Stand (50/1)

BADRI is enjoying a fine season yet still looks weighted to bag a fifth win raised 4 lb for his latest Epsom success which is proving strong form. Mondammej is a long time without a win but feared most on the back of his good Doncaster second. Vintage Clarets and Intrinsic Bond complete the shortlist in an open sprint.
