Forecasts

Al Muqdad (10/3), Ey Up Its Jazz (5/1), Reidh (11/2), Wilde And Dandy (6/1), Dumfries (15/2), Travis (15/2), Sunny Orange (8/1), Manhattan Mirage (10/1), Homer Stokes (10/1), Sovereign Knight (10/1), The Cookstown Cafu (14/1), Naval Academy (16/1), Broken Spear (28/1)

AL MUQDAD hasn't won for 11 runs but showed his best form of the season when fourth at Doncaster, challenging strongly into the final furlong. With cheekpieces back on and 6 lb below his last winning mark, he can end his drought. Reidh is a previous course and distance winner who could bounce back at this venue, while Wilde And Dandy is in good recent form.
