Forecasts

Tempered Soul (8/11), Sir Raj (7/4), Cresta Cat (11/1), Out Rule (18/1), Onemorenomore (80/1), Santiburi Spirit (150/1)

This is essentially a match between SIR RAJ and Tempered Soul, with preference for the former who made an encouraging start to his career at Nottingham and promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Out Rule is best of the rest.
