Forecasts

Semoum (6/5), James Watt (11/4), I Am A Dreamer (7/2), Pirate (10/1), Nayslayer (11/1)

Verdict

Not strong numerically, but a competitive looking nursery on paper. Both I Am A Dreamer and Nayslayer are turned out quickly after filling the places behind Buckingham at Chelmsford on Saturday and whilst the Johnston trained top-weight should confirm those placings, others are preferred. Semoum takes a step up in grade after a smooth Ripon success (tongue-tied), and might just be forced to play second fiddle to JAMES WATT. The selection has done nothing but please so far and although not quite strong enough for the Windsor Castle Stakes latest, shouldn't be at all inconvenienced by this new trip and looks the horse to be with today.
  1. James Watt
  2. Semoum
  3. I Am A Dreamer
