Forecasts

Prejudice (8/11), Kiefer (15/8), Skymax (10/3), Past Master (11/2), Lexington Law (16/1), Noble Behest (20/1)

Tricky little contest in which the two progressive 3yos KIEFER and Prejudice might be the ones to concentrate on. The former just gets the nod after two very solid efforts and he clearly gets this trip well. Prejudice won't be any pushover but he does have to fully show that he wants this trip. Noble Behest went from the front at Chester last time and may well try similar tactics here. Skymax might do better in headgear too.
