Forecasts

Kalahari Prince (2/1), Dark Company (5/2), Star Of St James (9/2), Iconique (7/1), Cusack (10/1), Chinese Spirit (10/1), Smart Lass (11/1), Mad Artymaise (16/1), Mr Coco Bean (16/1), Rumnotred (40/1)

If KALAHARI PRINCE can reproduce the form he showed when second at Musselburgh earlier in the week he may be able to get his head back in front. Star of St James is down to the mark he defied here last summer and took a step back in the right direction last time so he's second choice. Dark Company arrives in form and also makes the shortlist.
