Forecasts

Al Azhar (7/4), Mr Big Stuff (9/4), Buxted Reel (9/1), Tidal Storm (11/1), Fairmac (12/1), Love Mystery (12/1), Percy's Pride (16/1), True Courage (18/1), Monet's Sunrise (25/1), Awesome Dancer (28/1), Saratoga Gold (33/1)

Verdict

Lots of these are in the mix but AL AZHAR is worth another chance to confirm himself well handicapped after not being seen to best effect when runner-up in a falsely-run Salisbury handicap last time. Mr Big Stuff and Percy's Pride head the list of dangers and can chase home Marcus Tregoning's 3-y-o in that order.

  1. AL AZHAR (IRE)
  2. MR BIG STUFF
  3. PERCY'S PRIDE (IRE)
