Forecasts

Arctic Mountain (13/8), Life On The Rocks (6/1), Prenup (17/2), Shifter (11/1), Leadenhall (11/1), Pol Roger (12/1), Moonlit Cloud (16/1), Invisible Friend (18/1), Richard P Smith (18/1), My Harrison George (20/1), Jean Baptiste (22/1), Paris Lights (22/1), Bint Al Daar (28/1), Shimmering Sands (28/1), Cosmic Soul (80/1), Manu Et Corde (150/1)

ARCTIC MOUNTAIN improved and created a good impression when scoring at Lingfield 6 days ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's capable of defying a penalty in first-time cheekpieces. Pol Roger and Life On The Rocks are other last-time-out winners who arrive on the up, and both are likely to be involved.
