Forecasts

Markakol (6/4), Batal Zabeel (7/4), Stanley Spencer (6/1), Zaman Daar (15/2), Cloud King (8/1), Tan Rapido (16/1), Sweet Soul Music (22/1), Mehigburn (50/1), Star Of Lazise (66/1)

Verdict

MARKAKOL was too green to do himself justice at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but he's evidently held in high regard so is worth another chance in what looks an ordinary novice. Batal Zabeel fared best of the newcomers when third at York and is the obvious threat, with Stanley Spencer making the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.
