Forecasts

Ziryab (2/1), Royal Symbol (7/2), Like A Tiger (4/1), Therapist (9/2), Moonlit Cloud (17/2), Coco Jack (10/1), Gloucestershire (14/1), Pjanoo (14/1), Defence Of Fort (20/1), Fantasy Believer (22/1), First Officer (28/1), Wilkie (50/1)

Kingman colt ZIRYAB had looked firmly on the up until not seen to best effect when fifth at Royal Ascot so is worth another chance to confirm himself a useful colt in the making. Moonlit Cloud is more exposed but arrives at the top of her game and seems sure to have a say, while the handily-weighted Like A Tiger and C&D scorer Therapist need factoring into a highly competitive handicap too.
