Forecasts

Phoenix Aquilus (15/8), Aljaryaal (5/2), Vorashann (9/2), Alborkan (6/1), Hear Me Out (14/1), London Eye (16/1), Thibault (25/1)

PHOENIX AQUILUS looks a stayer going places, following up his Wolverhampton win with a lot up his sleeve at Southwell last month and can complete the hat-trick. Aljaryaal pulled clear of the rest when just denied here 3 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Hear Me Out.
