Forecasts

By Starlight (15/8), Beholden (11/4), Combine (7/2), Alpin King (5/1), Supakalanistic (16/1), Kashi (16/1), Doukarov (22/1), Ocean Reach (66/1), Lady Marwah (100/1), Winander (100/1), Dublin Blue (125/1), The Imposter (125/1), Word Of Honour (200/1), Badreputation (250/1)

This can go to BY STARLIGHT, who seems likely to build on an encouraging debut at Newmarket in June. Combine wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time and may yet do better, so is an obvious threat, with Beholden perhaps best of the rest.
