Forecasts

Regal Ulixes (6/4), Parlando (9/2), Military Academy (6/1), Time Loop (13/2), Teumessias Fox (11/1), Cristo (12/1), Midnight Lion (12/1), King's Code (18/1), Dark Moon Rising (18/1), Flame Of Forest (20/1), Beylerbeyi (22/1), Zryan (28/1), Storm Catcher (33/1), Night Breeze (40/1)

PARLANDO took his form up a notch when a stylish winner at Wolverhampton and can make light of a 6 lb rise given he overcame a pace bias there. Zryan, a very good runner-up that day, again looks the one to chase home Ian Williams' hat-trick seeker, with the unexposed Regal Ulixes not without interest on his return. Flame Of Forest and Time Loop complete the shortlist in this cracking handicap.
