Forecasts

Benassi (15/8), Milans Edge (3/1), Mr Hailstone (9/2), Saturday Song (6/1), Pedley Wood (15/2), General Hubble (18/1), Gaye Legacy (22/1), Finest Hour (28/1), Iconic Rock (33/1), Black Sam Vicki (50/1), Dolly Bird (80/1), Libor Lad (150/1), Via Dante (150/1), Warner's Cross (200/1)

Having caught the eye when staying on well into third on his Rules debut at Wetherby, BENASSI is likely to prove hard to beat with improvement on the cards. Milans Edge is the clear main danger, despite returning from a lengthy absence, while Mr Hailstone, who was also last seen out back in May 2021, is one to note in the betting.
