Forecasts

Al Azhar (10/11), Aryaah (5/1), Island Bandit (8/1), Homeric (17/2), Night Arc (9/1), Wolf Of Oxshott (14/1), My Boy Jack (22/1), Secret Service (33/1)

Verdict

The progressive AL AZHAR had a bit up his sleeve when making a winning reappearance at Goodwood recently, clearly well at home over this longer trip. Nudged up just 3 lb for that cosy success, he gets the verdict to go in again. Aryaah didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Bath a fortnight ago so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Homeric.
