Forecasts

Emperor Spirit (1/1), Noorban (9/2), Mejthaam (5/1), Desert Gulf (11/2), Alphonse Karr (10/1)

EMPEROR SPIRIT wasn't seen to best effect in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and remains a useful prospect with the drop in trip an interesting move. Noorban keeps shaping well under very patient rides so could emerge as the biggest threat.
