Forecasts

Graceful Lady (11/4), The New Pharaoh (9/2), Gabrial's Star (5/1), Ayr Of Elegance (11/2), Incus (6/1), Sleep Easy (8/1), Spiritoftomintoul (10/1), Fitzwilly (12/1), Norab (14/1), Riptide (16/1), Bertie Moon (16/1), Roy Rocket (20/1)

Graceful Lady has had a good campaign and produced a great run from out of the handicap at Newmarket last time. On the forecast ground though, THE NEW PHARAOH makes more appeal under one of the year's top young riders. He landed a gamble this summer and is down to a similar mark here. Bertie Moon is of interest on his debut for a yard that do well with horses they pick up from elsewhere. Back to his optimum trip and off this mark, he would be one to monitor closely in the market.
