Forecasts

Tarqeez (7/4), Dark Lyric (85/40), Picturesque (3/1), Muddy Mooy (5/1), Grabajabba (17/2), Jungle Cruise (16/1), Mr Withington (28/1), Tresca (66/1), Marioento (150/1), Darlo Lady (200/1)

The betting should reveal plenty here but the Gosdens' Night Of Thunder newcomer PICTURESQUE is taken to go in at the first time of asking ahead of Roger Varian's returning Tarqeez who could have more to offer after an absence. Dark Lyric and Grabajabba appeal as the pick of the rest and also need factoring into this open-looking novice.
