Forecasts

Barging Thru (11/4), Toussarok (10/3), Maysong (10/3), Secret Strength (4/1), Mohareb (5/1), Papa Stour (13/2), Magical Max (17/2), Dynamic Talent (12/1)

SECRET STRENGTH returned to his best when scoring at Lingfield last month and would have benefited from a stronger gallop when not beaten far at the same course next time, so he is taken to resume winning ways this time around. Toussarok can fare better with his reappearance behind him and is feared most, ahead of Maysong.
