Forecasts

Middle Kingdom (11/10), Celestial Spheres (11/2), Emenem (8/1), Ay Ay (9/1), Fayez (10/1), Cape Peninsular (12/1), Sir Titan (20/1), First Flight (25/1), Brex Drago (33/1), Red Tea (33/1), Coillte Cailin (40/1), Believe It (50/1), Gothic Empire (66/1), Vettori Rules (66/1)

MIDDLE KINGDOM finished a decent third last time out and he can take his career record to three wins from four starts by defying top weight in this 1m2f handicap. The selection represents a leading stable and can take this at the chief expense of Celestial Spheres who was winning for the second time when victorious at Newmarket last time and makes his debut on this surface today. Of the remainder Cape Peninsular has run well over further in the past and can claim third on this occasion.
