Forecasts

Juanito Chico (4/1), Firefright (9/2), Black Trilby (5/1), Wahash (7/1), Eaton Square (7/1), Musawaat (15/2), Atteq (16/1), Dr Julius No (20/1), Zamjar (20/1), Aardwolf (20/1), Plant Pot Power (25/1), Alkashaaf (33/1)

Verdict

ATTEQ is an interesting runner. While he appears to be the stables second-string, he has hit form since the application of headgear and gives the impression there may be more to come. As it's right on Dettori's minimum weight, it's not inconceivable he has an equal or better chance than his stablemate Wahash. Juanito Chico should give another good account after looking a little unlucky last time and Aarwolf is a game sort who looks the sort to bounce back from his recent disappointing effort.
  1. Atteq
