Forecasts

Tasleet (2/1), Brando (2/1), Merchant Navy (9/2), Spirit of Valor (7/1), Ardhoomey (16/1), Intelligence Cross (16/1), Fas (33/1), Smash Williams (40/1), G Force (40/1)

Verdict

TASLEET is a proven Group 1 performer who should appreciate the drop in class here after a fine effort on Champions' Day at Ascot when last seen. Merchant Navy is an obvious threat on his Australian form but conceding weight to these rivals perhaps not ideal. Brando is a consistent performer who should run well again after a good effort behind 2017's Champion Sprinter last time.
