Forecasts

Fine Interview (6/5), Sergeant Pep (3/1), Fantasy Master (5/1), Havana Rum (7/1), The Good Biscuit (7/1), Be Proud (11/1), Smart Vision (12/1), Bulldog Drummond (14/1), Radio Goo Goo (28/1)

FINE INTERVIEW comes here better than ever and rates the pick of these weights too so is fancied to bag a third success of 2024. Recent Leicester victor Sergeant Pep should ensure Hamad Al Jehani 3-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, while Fantasy Master and Radio Goo Goo need factoring in too. Smart Vision completes the shortlist.
