Forecasts

Arthur's Secret (10/11), Master Baker (5/2), Risk A Fine (10/3), Abricot De L'Oasis (20/1), Port Melon (25/1), Nautical Twilight (50/1)

Arthur's Secret is one of three runners arriving into this race in excellent heart and comes out best on the ratings. He's won four from five of late, though he was pulled up here in his one defeat. The presence of Risk A Fine should ensure a proper test is served up and that might leave the likely market leader vulnerable. Preference is for strong-travelling MASTER BAKER who perhaps had more in hand the winning margin suggests at Newbury last time and ought to be suited by how this sets up. Port Melon and last year's winner Abricot De L'Oasis ensure this is a tasty finale.
