Forecasts

Rosato (4/1), Goldmoyne (9/2), Gordon Bennett (11/2), Smoke Them Out (7/1), Mickey The Steel (10/1), Are You In Or Out (10/1), Sunday Sovereign (10/1), Cordouan (12/1), Sakakawea (12/1), Clever And Classy (14/1), Eruption (16/1), Cupola (18/1), Salah Belle (20/1), Ohailbhic (22/1), Key Witness (25/1), Prince Of Love (25/1), Haughty (33/1), Greek Gift (50/1)

SALAH BELLE is on a tempting mark and could bounce back with a win having struck here previously. 2023 winner Sunday Sovereign might be set for a big run, while Smoke Them Out could feature returned to turf.
