Forecasts

Nibiru (5/6), Storm Steps (11/2), Djasek (13/2), Zoom Tiger (8/1), Kendancer (10/1), Estepona Sun (14/1), House Of Kings (22/1), Gaius (40/1), It's Possible (150/1)

Verdict

NIBIRU isn't the most solid of propositions, but he posted his best effort for a while when hitting the crossbar in a C&D handicap last time and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance at this level. Kendancer, a winner of his sole all-weather start in France and successful over hurdles this year, is likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate Djasek.
