Forecasts

Persian Phoenix (85/40), Overture (9/4), Caballo De Mar (3/1), Fortnum (6/1), Upton (10/1), Rich Harry (12/1)

PERSIAN PHOENIX pulled clear of the rest when going close off this mark at Lingfield recently so holds obvious claims. Caballo de Mar shaped well on his handicap debut when third at Windsor and is next best.
