Forecasts

Arnaz (3/1), Supreme King (4/1), Bright (4/1), Justcallmepete (5/1), Lahab (6/1), Vince Lombardi (6/1), Regal Envoy (6/1), Capote's Dream (13/2), Miss Stormy Night (12/1), Haziym (14/1), Al Shabab (33/1), Book Of Life (40/1)

Lots with chances but BRIGHT rates just the pick of these weights raised 3 lb for his recent Newcastle victory so edges the vote. Supreme King comes here at the top of his game and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Capote's Dream, Lahab and Arnaz in this very competitive handicap.
