Forecasts

Port Of London (11/10), Criminal (11/10), Military Cross (17/2), I'd Go Maniac (28/1), Bowling Shane (33/1), Ethelwulf (40/1), Turn And Finish (40/1), Minnesota (150/1), Ben Lomond (150/1)

CRIMINAL holds the clear edge on form and is fancied to gain a deserved first success. The Gosden yard saddles three and Southwell runner-up Port of London and newcomer Military Cross could emerge as the main dangers to Richard Hughes' son of Sea The Moon.
