Forecasts

Flight Of Angels (18/5), Bashful (4/1), El Pro (4/1), Hortzadar (5/1), Hey Lyla (13/2), Jackhammer (8/1), Shine On Brendan (10/1)

Last year's winner JACKHAMMER teed himself up nicely for a repeat bid when making an encouraging return here last month and looks the way to go. El Pro is feared most.
