Forecasts

Takumi (11/8), Stealth Fighter (7/2), Lawn Ranger (7/2), Al Jellaby (9/2), Madeleine Bond (9/1), Grapevine (11/1), Rotherwick (14/1), Uther Pendragon (14/1), Maratha (66/1)

In what is a really good handicap likely filled with future winners the vote goes to the lone three-year-old in the field TAKUMI for the excellent William Haggas. A winner at Goodwood before two good seconds he clearly remains on an upward curve so is worth following here with a stronger race possibly what's needed to bring out the best in him. Lawn Ranger is 2-2 over C&D and is clearly a danger to all once again although surely his latest rise of 7lb will slow him a little. Rotherwick is more exposed than the aforementioned duo but everything looks primed for him to run a big race here.
