Forecasts

Verdict

Half of this field can probably be confidently taken on for win purposes, as should come up short on class, but the age allowance, plus his sparkling Guineas effort suggest that ELARQAM can make it 2-2 at this venue, provided he can bounce back from his Irish adventure. Smart Call looks a threat, while neither Fabricate nor Forest Ranger is dismissed.
