Forecasts

Monbeg Genius (5/4), First Lord De Cuet (3/1), Bellatrixsa (4/1), Coconut Splash (4/1), Skandiburg (7/1), Lord Of Kerak (12/1)

MONBEG GENIUS left his chasing debut effort well behind when getting off the mark at Newcastle last month, and with further progress on the cards, he can make light of a 5 lb higher mark and follow up. First Lord de Cuet shaped as if as good as ever when runner-up returning from a lengthy absence recently so David Pipe's charge can give the selection most to think about, ahead of chasing-debutante Bellatrixsa.
