Forecasts

Hurricane Lane (6/4), Mojo Star (18/5), Max Vega (4/1), Israr (6/1), Lone Eagle (15/2), Surrey Mist (17/2), Grand Alliance (18/1), Farhan (40/1)

The returning duo HURRICANE LANE and Mojo Star possess much the best form on offer here and Charlie Appleby's former St Leger hero can again hold sway having got the better of Richard Hannon's smart gelding at Doncaster back in 2021. Israr is likely to take a step forward this season and can fight it out for minor honours along with last year's victor Max Vega.
