Forecasts

Lhebayeb (9/4), Sun Festival (7/2), Inexplicable (6/1), Lailah (7/1), Caracristi (8/1), Odd Socks Havana (10/1), Storm Asset (16/1), Latent Heat (16/1), Selfish Brian (22/1), Silver Bubble (33/1), Born To Please (150/1)

Most of these find winning difficult, but that cannot be said of seven-time course winner INEXPLICABLE and he's taken to get back on track having had a rare turf outing when last seen. Odd Socks Havana and Sun Festival are a couple of potential threats.
