Forecasts

Shandoz (7/2), Kipps (4/1), My Frankel (9/2), Grand Bazaar (7/1), Al Qaqaa (8/1), A Star Above (10/1), Zabeel Champion (10/1), Cepheus (16/1), Coconut (16/1), Ravens Ark (22/1), Noble Masquerade (28/1)

AL QAQAA fluffed his lines when heavily backed to land a handicap at Glorious Goodwood won by the re-opposing Cepheus last time, but there's little doubt that he's on a good mark, and with cheekpieces reached for, he will hopefully prove that point on this occasion. This is a cracking 3-y-o handicap, with My Frankel and Shandoz feared most.
