Forecasts

Arnaz (5/2), King's Crown (7/2), Patontheback (5/1), One More Dream (5/1), Sunny Orange (7/1), East Bank (7/1), Sir Maxi (12/1), Temper Trap (14/1), Petra Celera (16/1)

KING'S CROWN hinted at a revival when sixth at Chester last time and can build on it here from a 2 lb lower mark to resume winning ways. Patontheback brings very solid credentials to the table and is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted Sunny Orange and in-form duo Arnaz and One More Dream.
