Forecasts

Ascot Adventure (4/1), Lethal Nymph (11/2), Mubhijah (11/2), Katey Kontent (7/1), Holy Fire (7/1), Prairie Falcon (8/1), It Just Takes Time (17/2), Magical Spirit (9/1), Hectic (9/1), Dakota Gold (12/1), Sterling Knight (14/1), Fantasy Master (14/1), Snazzy Jazzy (14/1), Quintus Arrius (20/1), Able Kane (33/1), Rathbone (33/1), Good Earth (40/1), Roundhay Park (50/1), Oso Rapido (50/1)

KATEY KONTENT's fitness has to be taken on trust but she was threatening to come good at Salisbury when last seen in October and appeals as the most persuasive option given how well that form has worked out. Ascot Adventure is not taken lightly with his reappearance under his belt, while Prairie Falcon shouldn't be written off having shaped really well on his penultimate start.
