Forecasts

Naval Commander (5/2), Al Marmar (11/4), Imperial Sands (4/1), Austrian Theory (11/2), Sir Dancealot (8/1), Excel Power (8/1)

A tricky contest to unravel despite the small field but with AL MARMAR's latest effort easy to excuse, Andrew Balding's 4-y-o gets the tentative nod to notch a third career victory. Excel Power disappointed on the straight track at Newcastle earlier in the year but he may emerge as the main threat going back round a bend given his run-style, with Austrian Theory completing the shortlist.
