Forecasts

Harry Angel (5/4), Caravaggio (9/2), Quiet Reflection (6/1), The Tin Man (9/1), Librisa Breeze (10/1), Tasleet (10/1), Brando (20/1), Donjuan Triumphant (20/1), Danzeno (33/1), Washington Dc (50/1), Alphabet (66/1), Tupi (66/1), Intelligence Cross (100/1)

Caravaggio is seemingly the pick of the Ballydoyle quartet and the three-year-old gives Aidan O'Brien a solid chance in the trainer's ongoing bid to surpass Bobby Frankel's Group 1 record, but preference is for the progressive HARRY ANGEL. Clive Cox's charge was mightily impressive in heavy ground at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that effort will see him very hard to beat here. Librisa Breeze and Tasleet ought to be finishing off well and make up the shortlist in a hot renewal of the race.
