Forecasts

Mucho Applause (7/2), Century Dream (6/1), Glorious Forever (13/2), Defoe (8/1), Andok (8/1), Time To Study (9/1), Count Calabash (14/1), Contrast (14/1), Bush House (14/1), Duke Of Bronte (16/1), Al Hamdany (16/1), Mister Blue Sky (16/1), I'vegotthepower (33/1), Zymyran (50/1)

MUCHO APPLAUSE looks like the one to beat with the yard in flying form and the return to softer conditions likely to suit. Glorious Forever is less exposed than a lot of these and he should remain competitive from a 4lb higher mark. If Mister Blue Sky can build on his Nottingham effort he should run well in conditions he has already proven himself in.
