Forecasts

Nakeeb (2/5), Competizione (7/2), Blue Lancero (11/1), Perry Mason (12/1), Kurios George (22/1), Rock N It (25/1), R P Mcmurphy (66/1), Gonnae No Dae That (80/1)

NAKEEB holds the clear edge on the form of his recent Newmarket second so looks the way to go here. Competizione appeals as the one to chase home Richard Hannon's colt, ahead of newcomers Blue Lancero and Kurios George.
