Denny Crane, Paramour and Sydney Harbour are among the nine runners in the fray for the Sir Charles Forbes Trophy, a class II affair, which is slated as the feature event of Thursday's seven-race card at Mahalaxmi.

Denny Crane from Pesi Shroff's yard advertised his return to excellent fitness when he mocked another class II set over five furlongs. He can certainly hold his own over the extended furlong, and is clearly the horse to beat.
