Forecasts

Aquarium (4/7), Maypole (13/8), Groupie (20/1)

A tactical affair looks likely, but Dane O'Neill will be fully aware that MAYPOLE is capable of front-running, and this improving three-year-old should prove tough to pass assuming that the fractions set are accurate. He finished in front of Aquarium (won since) when caught on the line by another Mark Johnston-trained runner (Book Of Dreams) at Chelmsford recently, and that form has a particularly strong feel about it with the third-placed horse Glory Awaits also entering the winners enclosure subsequently.
