Forecasts

Bicep (4/1), Gobi Sunset (13/2), Shandy Star (13/2), Ayr Poet (7/1), Liamarty Dreams (15/2), Sir Maxi (17/2), Oso Rapido (9/1), Troon (10/1), Kalganov (16/1), Honour Your Dreams (18/1), Cold Stare (25/1), Magical Max (28/1)

Verdict

A tricky opener to solve but preference is for BICEP, who travelled like a dream before finding his stamina running dry over 1m here last week so, now dropping back in trip, Grant Tuer's 4-y-o can resume winning ways at the expense of Kalganov, who has his first start for Michael Dods and can shrug off a lesser effort at York last month. Honour Your Dreams and the consistent Ayr Poet can battle out minor honours.

  1. BICEP (IRE)
  2. KALGANOV (FR)
  3. HONOUR YOUR DREAMS (FR)
