Forecasts

Desert Emperor (2/1), Marion's Boy (9/4), Melakaz (10/3), Koeman (9/2), Creationist (22/1), Finniston Farm (40/1)

The much-improved DESERT EMPEROR wasn't quite able to reel in the better positioned winner in a steadily-run contest at Newcastle last month, so he remains of firm interest. Marion's Boy and Melakaz are others who arrive in top form and must be taken seriously.
