Forecasts

Rathbone (11/4), Aberama Gold (11/4), Asadjumeirah (9/2), Astro Jakk (11/2), Ballyare (7/1), Devil's Angel (8/1)

ASADJUMEIRAH could do better for his new connections having forced a dead-heat with subsequent winner Tommy Taylor here 3 weeks ago and he's taken to go in again. Ballyare is feared most in a tricky contest.
