Forecasts

Humbert (7/2), Original Choice (6/1), Gulf Of Poets (7/1), What's The Story (10/1), Mutamaded (10/1), Wahash (11/1), King's Pavilion (12/1), Elusive Heights (12/1), Kings Gift (14/1), Withernsea (16/1), Perkunas (16/1), Hayadh (20/1), Just Hiss (25/1), Rousayan (33/1), London Protocol (40/1), Fayez (50/1)

Verdict

Hugo Palmer's yard can be one to follow when his horses start hitting form and the consistent HUMBERT makes most appeal in a wide open renewal of the race, up only 3lb for his latest win. Hayadh shouldn't be ruled out now he's getting back towards his last winning mark while Gulf Of Poets, Original Choice and What's The Story all look progressive.
  1. Humbert
  2. Gulf Of Poets
  3. Hayadh
