Forecasts

Minstrel Knight (15/8), Spectacular Style (11/4), Tafsir (15/2), Soowaih (8/1), Papagei (17/2), Spanish Hustle (17/2), Wickywickywheels (16/1), Stand Strong (66/1)

A case can be made for virtually all of these but Roger Varian's SPECTACULAR STYLE has slipped to an attractive mark and is fancied to resume winning ways now stepped back up in distance. Jim Goldie's pair Soowaih and Spanish Hustle could pose the biggest threats and can chase home the selection in that order.
