Forecasts

Mr Wonderful (3/1), Free Nation (7/2), L'Ennemi (6/1), Al Saif (7/1), Brunel Nation (11/1), James's Delight (12/1), Blue Day (12/1), Hinitsa Bay (16/1), Mister Sketch (18/1), Flag Carrier (20/1), Hello Cotai (25/1), Zinchenko (33/1)

Verdict

FREE NATION needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Doncaster 9 days ago but he had previously shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut at Windsor, so the son of Siyouni is worth another chance to put his experience to good use and open his account. L'Ennemi and Al Saif both make appeal on paper and are feared most of the newcomers.
