Forecasts

Sectarius (13/8), Desert Emperor (2/1), Rogue Tornado (5/1), Humble Spark (7/1), Chillhi (8/1), Graze On Phoenix (10/1), Unique Spirit (33/1), Banderas (66/1), Quercus Robur (66/1)

SECTARIUS made a winning start for a yard that possesses a fine record with new recruits when overcoming a pace bias over C&D in October so looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise. Desert Emperor rates the main threat after his eye-catching third at Southwell 5 weeks ago.
