Forecasts

Mayo County (15/8), Rebecca's Girl (3/1), Lord Abama (9/2), Court Drive (6/1), Oriental Prince (6/1), Match Play (17/2), Nazca (22/1), Mighty Power (25/1), Run This Way (28/1), Little Muddy (28/1), Sir Garfield (33/1), Danzart (40/1)

Jim Goldie's ORIENTAL PRINCE got back on the up when scoring at Southwell a week ago and can defy a 4 lb weight rise here to bag a fourth victory of 2025. Stylish C&D winner Mayo County rates a big threat though despite being hit with a 7 lb hike by the official assessor. In-form duo Lord Abama and Rebecca's Girl are also in the picture.
