Forecasts

Bedouin Prince (7/4), Secret Theory (7/2), Fifth Column (4/1), Mister Winston (5/1), Raafedd (15/2), Thunder Wonder (22/1), Sex On Fire (66/1)

A fascinating handicap in which marginal preference is for BEDOUIN PRINCE who goes into handicaps firmly on the up and is fancied to continue Charlie Appleby's superb record in this event. Both Raafedd (second choice) and Fifth Column didn't enjoy the rub of the green in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and remain with better days ahead of them so rate big threats. Mister Winston completes the shortlist.
