Forecasts

Tabarrak (2/1), Ballet Concerto (5/2), Hathal (3/1), Master The World (9/2), Firmament (11/2), Carry On Deryck (6/1), Ballard Down (12/1), Isomer (33/1)

If Carry On Deryck is match-fit, he is entitled to go close, but the perecentage call is HATHAL, who ran well in Group 2 company last time and should take some beating if replicating that effort. Ballard Down should not be underestimated, while Firmament and Tabarrak are likely to be thereabouts if performing to their ratings. Ballet Concerto might find the trip on the sharp side.
