Forecasts

Jenilat Bright (2/1), Spy Kingdom (4/1), Magic Petition (13/2), Royal Favour (7/1), Noogool (7/1), Gun Carriage (8/1), Galactic Star (12/1), Zandvoort (12/1), Crown Estate (50/1), Street Mood (50/1), Home Brew (50/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for several in this competitive handicap but SPY KINGDOM gets the nod. Crown Estate may prove next best, ahead of Noogool and Home Brew,
