Forecasts

Benown (8/15), Controlla (10/3), Heralds March (11/2), Sonny Hayes (8/1), Jungle Wise (10/1), Katty (28/1), Starlit (33/1), Shake It Out (50/1), Royal Sovereign (66/1), Champion Basma (80/1), Moon Gypsy (100/1), Fen Phasee (200/1), Ar Son Na Cuise (250/1), Brageiro (300/1)

BENOWN made a promising start to his career when runner-up here last month, beaten only by a more streetwise rival, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Controlla is feared most dropped into a maiden for the first time, while Heralds March is one to note with his debut run behind him.
