Forecasts

Kolkata Knight (13/8), Dacres Cross (9/4), Blue Mantle (15/2), Harlequin Bay (11/1), Mister Moet (12/1), Our Boy Harry (18/1), Believeinthisone (25/1), Rathmullan (33/1)

Those with experience don't set the pulse racing so newcomers may well come to the fore. KOLKATA KNIGHT is an early foal and a half-brother to a 5f winner, so he may well be sharp enough to get the job done. Harlequin Bay and Blue Mantle are other likely types on paper.
