Forecasts

Verdict

Vale of Kent fared best of the three-year-olds when a neck second over C&D earlier in the week, and he should go well again if turned out quickly, but preference is for ZAP, who ran a stormer on the wrong side of the track in last weekend's International Stakes at Ascot, and is clearly on a workable mark on that evidence. Restive Spirit makes his handicap debut for last year's winning stable, and had plenty to spare at Ripon last time, so needs the utmost respect.
