Forecasts

Makhachev (9/4), George Handel (4/1), Heart Stealer (5/1), Green Mandarin (6/1), Painite (15/2), Star Coin (8/1), Slainte Mhath (17/2), Dynalley (11/1), Oranjemund (28/1)

GREEN MANDARIN continues to run creditably and has leading claims. Makhachev looks second best, while Dynalley could go well too.
