Forecasts

Rose Of Arcadia (85/40), Nestor Park (4/1), Broken Halo (5/1), Enjoy Your Life (8/1), Golden Sovereign (10/1), Farceur Du Large (11/1), Up Helly Aa King (18/1), I See You Well (20/1), Almazhar Garde (22/1), Fil D'ariane (80/1)

The mare ROSE OF ARCADIA appeals as the most likely winner judged on the improved form she has shown this season. Nestor Park ran well for a long way in a competitive Warwick handicap last time and should have a part to play, while last year's winner Broken Halo, Golden Sovereign and the veteran Up Helly Aa King are all worth a second look.
