Forecasts

Marion's Boy (4/1), Awtaad Prince (4/1), Oyamal (5/1), Pink Lily (8/1), Oriental Art (8/1), Urban Road (17/2), Malacanne (9/1), Three Yorkshiremen (10/1), Eklil (12/1), Manila Mist (14/1), Lost In Time (14/1), Kingwell (20/1), Orange Martini (20/1), Barbarosa (40/1), Break Point (40/1)

MARION'S BOY scored over C&D on his penultimate outing and confirmed himself as still in good form without getting the rub of the green at Lingfield last time, so gets the nod to resume winning ways over Urban Road, who arguably shaped like the best horse in the race at Newcastle last time but has a wide draw to overcome here. Malacanne can round out the placings.
