Forecasts

High Honour (1/1), Sir Laurence Graff (9/4), Ibrahimovic (13/2), Torre Del Oro (12/1), Kingsley Pride (16/1), Uncle Matthew (40/1), Red Bird (100/1)

HIGH HONOUR looked a useful prospect when scoring at Goodwood so could be up to defying a penalty. Sir Laurence Graff is capable of winning one of these, while his stablemate Uncle Matthew made an eye-catching debut at Kempton.
