Forecasts

Beylerbeyi (11/8), Eleven Eleven (9/2), Royal Prospect (11/2), Tees George (13/2), Rich Waters (10/1), Spartan Fighter (12/1), Primo's Comet (14/1), Jems Bond (16/1), Northbound (22/1), Angel Amadea (22/1), Castleberg Rock (33/1), Art Of Romance (66/1)

BEYLERBEYI is unexposed for his current yard and the form of his latest C&D second is working out very well, so he's worth chancing to go one better at the possible expense of last-time-out winner Tees George, Royal Prospect and Spartan Fighter are also worth considering.
