Forecasts

Al Hamdany (9/4), Burcan (5/2), Lawless Secret (4/1), Fire Fighting (5/1), Gwafa (8/1), Grand Inquisitor (14/1)

Fire Fighting has competed at higher levels than this and, if he had a couple of runs under his belt, he would be expected to make short work of these. An eight month absence is a concern and the concession of 13lb to BURCAN may be too much to ask. One of two for Marco Botti in this, the selection is lightly raced but has shown a clear liking for the surface and has scored over C&D. His third run back from a layoff saw marked improvement and he can take this at the expense of stablemate Al Hamdany. The four-year-old has gone close on his last two starts and probably had a tough task in conceding weight to the winner last time. He should go close again, but he may not be as well-handicapped as BURCAN. Lawless Secret looks the best of the rest.
