Forecasts

Jumira Prince (11/4), Colonel Frank (7/2), My Amigo (9/2), Sea The Waves (6/1), Qeyaadah (6/1), Off Art (7/1), Wonderfillo (12/1), Intense Style (14/1), Newmarket Warrior (14/1), Philba (14/1), Fivehundredmiles (16/1), Freewheel (25/1), Marylebone (40/1)

OFF ART is well handicapped on his old form and he can making a winning reappearance in this opening contest. The trip and ground forecast here should both suit Tim Easterby's charge and he can get the better of Jumira Prince who is making his first appearance since being gelded. Colonel Frank ran well here on seasonal debut last month and he can finish third.
