Forecasts

Moktasaab (5/2), Soto Sizzler (9/2), Cap Francais (11/2), Love Is Golden (7/1), Caradoc (11/1), Royal Champion (14/1), The City's Phantom (14/1), Spirit Dancer (20/1), Good Birthday (25/1), Sweet Reward (25/1), Bad Company (28/1), Victory Chime (28/1), Arqoob (40/1), Arctician (80/1)

Verdict

MOKTASAAB is unbeaten since joining William Knight and had something up his sleeve at Goodwood last time, so he makes plenty of appeal bidding for the hat-trick. Cap Francais looks as good as ever and looks a threat, while Bad Company could be dangerous if allowed his own way at the head of affairs.

  1. MOKTASAAB
  2. CAP FRANCAIS
  3. BAD COMPANY
