Forecasts

Regal Decree (4/1), Bismarck The Flyer (4/1), Darvie (7/1), Skellig Michael (15/2), Mr Strutter (8/1), Trois Bon Amis (9/1), Emerald Secret (11/1), Ejabah (12/1), Majestic Stone (14/1), Mimic's Memory (14/1), Little Kingdom (14/1), I Dare To Dream (50/1)

The previous race holds a reliable form line, with the recently gelded REGAL DECREE making the most appeal after posting a very encouraging return earlier in the month. That said, Darvie will be a big threat if he copes with tackling a sixth furlong, while Mimic's Memory and Bismarck The Flyer also merit serious consideration; the latter edges the verdict in that personal battle on these terms. Skellig Michael is another to bear in mind if he attracts support.
