Forecasts

Qirat (4/11), Clear Image (7/2), Royal Tapestry (15/2), Spun To Gold (9/1), The Ice Phoenix (12/1), Solar Power (14/1), Teraabb (18/1), Phoenix Passion (80/1), Muy Barato (100/1), Dire Wolf (125/1), War Zone (200/1)

QIRAT's lack of experience arguably prevented him from making a winning debut at Newmarket and he can make amends with this extra furlong likely to suit. Clear Image showed plenty to work on despite being easy to back at Leicester, so is next best ahead of well-bred newcomer Spun To Gold.
