Forecasts

Naralsaif (11/4), Viola Park (6/1), Mansfield (13/2), Waqt (7/1), The King's Steed (7/1), Liamba (8/1), Shamlan (8/1), Energia Flavio (9/1), My Town Chicago (10/1), Rockesbury (14/1), Makaarim (33/1), Our Man In Havana (40/1)

Most of these are inconsistent and come with risk attached. The likes of Makaarim, Energia Flavio, and Rockesbury all have C&D wins to their name can be considered competitively weighted on the pick of their efforts, while Liamb can also go close if the seventh furlong doesn't catch her out. However, narrow preference is for THE KING'S STEAD, who hinted at return to form last time out and, as another previous C&D winner, he judges edges the verdict on the ground of value at the likely odds. Waqt is also in good heart and can make it an inserting scrap for the places.
