Forecasts

Melekhov (5/6), Arch My Boy (7/2), Imperial Knight (15/2), Midnight Monsoon (10/1), Mrs Bellamy (12/1), Sirobbie (18/1), Ultimate Climax (20/1), Oborne Lady (25/1), Mr Snips (100/1)

Verdict

Melekhov makes his second start having shaped well on his debut but his stable is going through a quiet spell at the moment and he faces a couple of decent rivals here who may well be able to give him a race. The Olly Murphy yard are always to be respected here and his Mahler newcomer IMPERIAL KNIGHT is an interesting runner giving his pedigree and he may be able to cause a slight surprise. Arch My Boy looks to be another who is progressing gradually in bumpers and may well take a hand with Midnight Monsoon another debutante who should be noted if there is any interest in the market.
