Forecasts

Al Rufaa (11/8), Lordsbridge Blu (7/2), Stipulation (4/1), True Colors (5/1), Bintalina (7/1), Youarenotforgiven (8/1), Crest Of Light (8/1), Orbaan (12/1), Shady Bay (18/1), Masqool (25/1), Spec Of Light (50/1), Tiger Beetle (100/1), Encourager (100/1)

AL RUFAA signalled he is ready to end a losing run when beaten just a head by Youarenotforgiven over C&D a week ago and can turn the tables on these 4 lb more advantageous terms. Tony Carroll's in-form gelding still rates the main danger though, while Orbaan, Bintalina and Stipulation can also have a say too in this highly competitive handicap.
