Forecasts

Too Darn Hot (4/11), Dark Vision (5/1), Phoenix Of Spain (8/1), Van Beethoven (14/1), Bye Bye Hong Kong (20/1), Cardini (40/1)

A couple of these arrive with unbeaten records to defend and it's TOO DARN HOT who makes most appeal. He could hardly have been more impressive at Sandown last time and while this is tougher, it's likely he's improved in the interim. Dark Vision can't be ruled out after his impressive Group 2 win at Goodwood last time but conceding a penalty to the selection won't be easy. Phoenix Of Spain was impressive last time at York and he's another who can't be ruled out with further progress on the cards.
