Forecasts

Royal Observatory (13/8), Major Major (2/1), Bloodhound (9/1), Lhebayeb (10/1), Vecchio (10/1), Jumeira Vision (14/1), Sun Festival (14/1), True Nation (22/1), Eccentric (25/1), Miss Raindrop (40/1), Beautiful Dawn (40/1), Rohilla (80/1)

ROYAL OBSERVATORY took advantage of a drop in the handicap when opening his account at Chelmsford earlier this month and still looks feasibly treated. He may be able to score again in the finale. Major Major and Bloodhound are also of interest.
