Forecasts

Ascot Adventure (9/4), Showtime Mahomes (7/2), Novak (9/2), Rory (6/1), Muntadab (13/2), Black Friday (8/1), Craven (9/1), Utilis (10/1), Monhammer (14/1), Bowood (33/1), Chookie Dunedin (40/1)

The vote goes to SHOWTIME MAHOMES, who has shaped as though his turn is near in two starts since returning from a break, latterly when upped to this trip at Thirsk where he put in good late work from a compromising position. It's surely a matter of time before Ascot Adventure opens his account for David O'Meara and he is second choice ahead of Chookie Dunedin, who is lurking on a dangerous mark. Black Friday is also entitled to respect.
