Forecasts

Tirmizi (1/6), High Honcho (3/1), Jack Blue (4/1), The Golden Punto (28/1), Go Be A Hero (33/1)

It would be a big surprise if TIRMIZI didn't win this. Not only is he the only horse in the field to have won a race of any description, at any time in his career, but he has also run a fair race in a Group 3. Slightly disappointing in a handicap last time, this is the perfect opportunity for him to bounce back. The fact that the filly High Honcho finished well out of the picture in a poor Newcastle handicap last time but is still definitely second best says everything about the depth of the opposition, while Jack Blue would be receiving 46lb from the selection if this were a handicap but could chase them home.
