Forecasts

Al Zaraqaan (6/4), Desert Encounter (2/1), Stormy Antarctic (10/3), Majestic Dawn (4/1), Winter Reprise (17/2)

Verdict

AL ZARAQAAN found the step up to Group 2 company behind Sir Ron Priestley beyond him at Newmarket last time but is fancied to regain winning ways in these calmer waters. Veteran Desert Encounter is greatly respected after his excellent reappearance second at Sandown and the returning Cambridgeshire hero Majestic Dawn can't be ruled out either in a fascinating listed contest.

  3. MAJESTIC DAWN (IRE)
