Forecasts

Lotus Rose (13/8), Elzaal (4/1), The Grey Lass (9/2), Poetic Jack (13/2), Whiskey Priest (9/1), Enchanted Night (16/1), Madame Fenella (18/1), Colors Of Freedom (25/1)

POETIC JACK got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Wolverhampton last month and could well get the run of the race dropped to the minimum trip for the first time, so he's put forward as the answer. Lotus Rose seems likely to run well again, with Whiskey Priest better judged on his 2023 form.
