Forecasts

Forceful Speed (13/8), Al Anoud (9/4), Knightswood (3/1), Dancing In Paris (3/1), Appier (9/1), Saratoga Gold (16/1)

Competitive fare despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of DANCING IN PARIS. Ian Williams' charge has thrived in recent starts, adding to his tally in good style at York before being reeled in late on by a subsequent winner at Goodwood 16 days ago. He's a player from the same mark. Knightswood was very unlucky at Haydock and is respected, with Forceful Speed and Al Anoud others in the mix.
