11/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Unbeaten in two on AW, so very much one to consider with cheekpieces back on.

16/1

Forecasts

Irish Legend (6/5), Zikany (3/1), Pied Piper (11/2), Marching Army (8/1), King Of Tsavo (10/1), Tribal Art (16/1), Choritzo (40/1)

IRISH LEGEND hasn't really had the rub of the green on turf lately and is defending an unbeaten record on AW, so he gets the marginal vote in the hope that the pace is strong enough for him. Zikany is going the right way and should lay down a strong challenge if the drop in trip doesn't catch him out, while King of Tsavo was an impressive winner on his sole previous visit to this track.
