Forecasts
Qutob (1/1), After John (7/4), Dream of Honour (6/1), Texting (12/1), The Gingerbreadman (50/1)
After John bumped into a very talented horse (Jubiloso) at Newbury last week and this race looks to be far less competitive. However, his Salisbury debut third took a blow when the fourth-placed Voltaic was easily fended off at Brighton on Tuesday. Therefore, it's off into battle we head with the Charles Hills-trained QUTOB who sets the standard despite a mightily frustrating sequence of form figures which read 2,2,3,3,2. Texting is the clear pick of the remaining trio.
