Forecasts

Noble Consort (5/1), Ingleby Archie (11/2), Juan Les Pins (6/1), Showtime Mahomes (7/1), Winged Messenger (15/2), Emperor Caradoc (8/1), Sugar Baby (10/1), Equity Law (16/1), Filly One (16/1), Sports Coach (16/1), Alfa Whiteburd (16/1), Dicko The Legend (25/1), Northern Spirit (25/1), Iris Dancer (25/1), Airman (33/1), Impressor (33/1), Vince L'Amour (33/1), Mondammej (33/1), Kings Merchant (50/1), Hyperfocus (50/1), Raatea (50/1), Equiano Springs (66/1)

SUGAR BABY is enjoying a fine season and signalled he is ready to garner a fourth success when an unlucky fifth over C&D last time so earns the vote in this highly competitive sprint. Juan Les Pins came in two places ahead of Peter Niven's 7-y-o that day and rates the main threat, although the likes of Sports Coach, Noble Consort, Emperor Caradoc and Filly One all need factoring in too. Winged Messenger completes the shortlist.
