Forecasts

Dr Kananga (6/5), Poppa Poutine (85/40), Musical Slave (7/2), Laskalin (7/2), Potters Legend (10/1), Illegal Model (10/1), A Toi Phil (20/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these, but the lightly-raced DR KANANGA arrives very much on an upward curve and is hard to side against after his most taking Chepstow success. Venetia Williams' Laskalin is weighted to go well, with in-form Poppa Poutine not without a chance either.

  1. DR KANANGA
  2. LASKALIN (FR)
  3. POPPA POUTINE (IRE)
