Forecasts

Al Misbar (11/10), Our Terms (7/2), Back In Black (5/1), Echalar (7/1), Fire Flame (12/1), Noble Guest (40/1), Letsbeatsepsis (80/1)

Richard Hannon has an excellent record in this and OUR TERMS showed plenty to work on at Newmarket earlier this month, shaping as if a stiff 6f would be ideal at this stage. Back In Black shaped like a decent prospect when runner-up at Yarmouth in May and is the obvious threat, while Battaash's half-brother Al Misbar looks the pick of the newcomers having fetched 1,500,000 gns as a yearling.
