Forecasts

First Principle (4/9), Summer Heat (5/1), Arf's Duchess (5/1), Divine Knight (9/1), Off Spin (12/1), Believe In Lies (66/1), Tatanka (125/1), Jubilee Party (125/1), Mary Anne Maximus (250/1), Soham's Roger (300/1)

FIRST PRINCIPLE created an excellent impression when going in on his debut at Kempton in December and can make light of his absence to defy a penalty here. Wolverhampton runner-up Summer Heat appeals as the one to chase home William Haggas' son of Kingman ahead of Arf's Duchess and Jubilee Party.
