Forecasts

Almeraq (8/13), Winnebago (5/4), San Munoz (20/1), Al Samed (33/1), Lexington Rocket (66/1), My Mate Kev (150/1), Synergism (300/1)

WINNEBAGO has displayed plenty of ability on both starts so far, strong at the line when runner-up over C&D a month ago and he looks the one to beat. Almeraq's debut second at Newbury was promising, though so he's a big threat, with newcomer San Munoz a nice type on paper, too.
