Forecasts

Bangkok (10/11), Technician (11/2), Alfaatik (6/1), Prince Eiji (6/1), Persian Moon (7/1), Travel On (7/1), Kuwait Currency (28/1)

A fascinating renewal can go the way of the regally bred PRINCE EIJI for the red-hot Roger Varian. Although he didn't kick on after a fine debut his many high class relatives all excelled at three and once over middle distances, he can do likewise and land the spoils here. Bangkok was most impressive on return and may well provide the sternest opposition with that maiden working out like a Group race in it's own right. John Gosden's record in this race is remarkable, unexposed Alfaatik is preferred of his duo.
