Forecasts
Patient Dream (13/8), Fast Steps (3/1), Naval Commander (4/1), Leroy Leroy (13/2), Wait For The Lord (8/1)
FAST STEPS signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising seventh at Goodwood last month yet can race off a 3 lb lower mark here so gets the nod. In-form Leroy Leroy has also enjoyed some respite from the official assessor so is feared most with course scorer Patient Dream another who can have a say in a competitive handicap.
