Forecasts

Somerset Jem (5/2), Sandhurst Lad (11/4), Cheque En Blanc (3/1), Sartorial Elegance (13/2), The Golden Hour (16/1), Shoofly Milly (16/1), Achille (20/1), Landscape (33/1)

Verdict

CHEQUE EN BLANC has a good chance of completing a hattrick and is in clearly in the form of his life at present. Despite another rise in the weights he looks the one to beat. The champion jockey might get the best out of Sandhurst Lad who has a shout if in the mood, and Somerset Jem shouldn't be far away on recent form. If the wind surgery does the trick, there may be some improvement from Sartorial Elegance, but it's a big 'if'.
  1. Cheque En Blanc
