Forecasts

Maharajas Express (13/8), Buraback (2/1), Apache Star (4/1), Papa Don't Preach (7/1), My Genghis (14/1), Next Second (66/1)

Verdict

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS shaped as though still in form over 6f here on Saturday and with the return to the 5f in his favour, he can get it right this time. Buraback caught the eye over C&D a week ago so is feared most, ahead of My Genghis.
