Forecasts

Lyneham (8/11), Echo Of Stars (3/1), Noble Journey (5/1), Interstate (11/2), Arbaawy (14/1), Temple (22/1), Golden Caviar (40/1), Suggy (250/1)

The well-connected LYNEHAM shaped very well when only just denied by another fine-looking debutant at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and is fancied to go one better with significant improvement highly possible. Echo of Stars showed plenty when behind a couple of subsequent winners at Ascot so must be respected, while Noble Journey heads a handful of interesting newcomers.
