Forecasts

Across Dubai (15/8), Baashiq (5/2), Carigrad (7/2), Hugin (7/2), Reachforthestars (14/1), Hidden Steps (16/1)

Across Dubai and Baashiq are lightly-raced performers whose present marks could under-estimate them but the same could be said about HUGIN who did well to finish third over 1m at Haydock on his handicap debut considering he was left poorly placed when the race began in earnest. This longer trip looks sure to suit and he gets the vote in an interesting finale.
