Forecasts

Star Cactus (13/8), Genuflex (11/4), Zookeeper (3/1), Eagle's Realm (9/2), Zaisan (5/1)

A very trappy affair but marginal preference is for bottom weight ZOOKEEPER who didn't run his race last time but had previously done well when third at Doncaster on debut. His yard has an excellent 31% winning strike-rate with juveniles at this track. Eagle's Realm could easily improve for the step up in trip and is feared, while Star Cactus, the only winner in the field, comes here after getting up late over 7f at Ascot last time and may again make a bold bid. Genuflex and Zaisan make up the field and neither are out of this, especially if attracting some market support.
