Forecasts

Nine Tenths (15/8), Shouldvebeenaring (9/4), Doctor Khan Junior (10/3), Misty Grey (13/2), Mums Tipple (11/1), Intervention (80/1)

SHOULDVEBEENARING ran a couple of crackers at Group 1 level in the autumn and can provide the Richard Hannon yard with a third win in this since 2020. Nine Tenths can give him most to do ahead of the thriving Doctor Khan Junior.
