Forecasts

Scorching Heat (5/2), Glory of Paris (4/1), Comprise (11/2), Foxcatcher (6/1), Qatari Riyals (6/1), Monteamiata (6/1), Otomo (13/2), Coastal Cyclone (9/1), Nibras Again (10/1), Red Alert (12/1), Miss Icon (12/1), Stringybark Creek (14/1), Kings Academy (16/1), Harbour Town (20/1), Dandy Flame (22/1), Rebel Heart (25/1)

A wide open contest and plenty will be seeking to lay a claim, Otomo is a likely pace angle but may struggle to replicate Brighton success now hit with a 7lb hike. Scorching Heat has form on the track but must defy an absence while Qatari Riyals could improve again and be involved in the shake-up. Foxcatcher and Coastal Cyclone are to be noted on respective handicap debuts but this might to the way of COMPRISE. He was well-placed on handicap bow over this trip at Yarmouth recently and just failed to last out, with a useful claim in his favour now, the lightly-raced gelding has decent claims of going one better.
