Forecasts

Stage Show (11/10), Queen's Company (10/3), Flower Of Thunder (5/1), Perfect Gentleman (9/1), Another Dimension (12/1), Timewave (16/1), George Morland (20/1), Mickey Mongoose (50/1), Point Of Fact (66/1), Mhajim (80/1), Blondelle (150/1)

STAGE SHOW rates the pick at these weights on the back of his good recent Sandown third so gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Flower of Thunder has an excellent record here so is feared most, although both Perfect Gentleman and George Morland can't be discounted either.
