Forecasts

Finest Sound (10/3), Silver Samurai (4/1), Festival Day (9/2), High Flying Bird (13/2), Queen Gamrah (13/2), El Naseri (8/1), Sir Charles Punch (10/1), Blue Skyline (12/1), Kuwait Shield (25/1), Trumpets Call (100/1)

Sir Charles Punch looks interesting on his first run for Tim Easterby, despite his maiden status, and he could go well here. Kuwait Shield is perhaps a more obvious contender along with Silver Samurai and Queen Gamrah. Finest Sound may begin to improve now, but preference is for FESTIVAL DAY, one of two in this for Mark Johnston. This filly made a good impression at Chepstow last September and was not unfancied in Group 2 company next time. Although that proved beyond her, she could be well handicapped for her first run in this company.
