Forecasts

Whiskey Priest (5/2), Selina's Star (9/2), Mucky Mulconry (9/2), Rewilding (11/2), Profitable Dawn (13/2), Universal Grace (7/1), Doctor Mozart (8/1), Moulin Booj (17/2), Victors Dream (10/1), Harry With Style (12/1), Byefornow (12/1), Idiopathic (25/1), Darlo Pride (100/1), Ritarocks (200/1)

Little between the principals on form but SELINA'S STAR made a promising return from four months off when runner-up over C&D and looks the way to go racing off the same mark here. Mucky Mulconry didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Windsor last time and rates the chief threat. Universal Grace and Rewilding complete the shortlist.
