Forecasts

Kitaab (3/1), Hierarchy (7/2), Sibyl Charm (4/1), Tickets (9/2), Muscika (15/2), Bellagio Man (10/1), Momaer (14/1), Respectful (33/1)

A few with chances but HIERARCHY ended a losing sequence in fine style at Lingfield last week only to lose the room in the stewards' room and can gain compensation here. Veteran Muscika arrives in very good nick and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Kitaab and Momaer.
