Forecasts

Khanjar (2/1), Ring Of Beara (3/1), Flying Secret (7/2), Tartan Chief (4/1), Imperial Fighter (9/1), Holiday (10/1), Cabrakan (10/1), Devasboy (12/1), Cephalus (12/1), Splendent (16/1), Capital Theory (22/1), Killearn (25/1), Copperknob (28/1), Bazalgette (40/1), Starspangledjama (50/1)

A host in with chances but it could pay to side with KHANJAR, who shaped with promise amidst inexperience when fourth at Ascot on debut and should prove a different proposition with that under his belt. Flying Secret split a pair with experience when runner-up on debut so he heads the dangers of those with racecourse experience, ahead of newcomers Ring of Beara and Imperial Fighter.
