Forecasts

Montezuma (16/5), Rousing Encore (7/2), Dandy Magic (5/1), Veydari (7/1), Lord Bertie (8/1), Educating Rita (10/1), Azure Zain (12/1), Hour By Hour (16/1), Count D'Orsay (16/1), Ran Amok (18/1), Oriental Prince (25/1), Mehman (25/1), Classy Al (66/1), Bonito Cavalo (125/1)

MONTEZUMA looks a sprint handicap winner in waiting. Rousing Encore and Lord Bertie should find this a bit easier than the recent Silver Cup over C&D and head the dangers along with Count d'Orsay and the selection's stablemate Dandy Magic.
