Forecasts

Farasi Lane (7/2), Al Ameen (9/2), Racingbreaks Ryder (13/2), Chalk Mountain (15/2), Waleefy (15/2), Dembe (8/1), Metaverse (8/1), Rey De La Batalla (11/1), Commanding Prince (16/1), Hieronymus (16/1), Tadreeb (20/1)

CHALK MOUNTAIN was unlucky not to win at Newbury 3 weeks ago and can make amends off a similar mark. The thriving Al Ameen has won 3 of his last 4 starts here so is an obvious threat, while Racingbreaks Ryder only just failed at Goodwood last month.
