Forecasts

Kadovar (85/40), Hectic (4/1), Saxon King (5/1), Legend Of Leros (6/1), Metal Merchant (13/2), Gulmarg (7/1), Defence Of Fort (15/2), Gareeb (10/1), Dark Thirty (12/1), Just Bring It (12/1)

An open-looking contest, with preference for KADOVAR who continued his improvement this year when getting off the mark in good style at Epsom 12 days ago. He is taken to follow up back in handicap company, though Gulmarg isn't taken lightly after a good third over C&D last month. Legend of Leros is another to consider on his handicap debut.
