Forecasts

Letmebetheboss (10/3), Made All (18/5), Expressionless (4/1), Prince Rasam (6/1), One Million Dreams (13/2), Alpine Stroll (9/1), Nivelle's Magic (9/1), Dr Waksman (11/1), Zambezi Magic (18/1), Roland Garros (20/1), Arkendale (20/1), Beggarman (25/1), Damascus Steel (28/1), Seeking Charles (66/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for several of these, with ZAMBEZI MAGIC shading preference. He was a wide-margin winner at his beloved Ffos Las last month and, though now 11 lb higher in the weights, he remains on a competitive mark based on his peak form. Dr Waksman went down narrowly at Kempton and he is feared with Sam Walker booked, while Expressionless, Letmebetheboss and Nivelle's Magic are others with likeable claims.

  1. ZAMBEZI MAGIC
  2. DR WAKSMAN
  3. EXPRESSIONLESS
