Forecasts

Hazzaar (11/4), The Glancing Queen (7/2), Imperial Alcazar (11/2), Those Tiger Feet (7/1), Eden Du Houx (8/1), Thor De Cerisy (10/1), Enrilo (14/1), Eason (14/1), Chapmanshype (20/1), Montego Grey (50/1), Golden Taipan (50/1)

Verdict

Hard to be dogmatic about the outcome with so many unexposed and promising types in opposition. Paul Nicholls saddles two likely types in Eason and Enrilo and either could be good enough to prevail, but a chance is taken with THOSE TIGER FEET, who hails from an in-form yard and looked good when scoring at Hereford. Of the many others to consider, The Glancing Queen, Hazzaar and Thor De Cerisy are of particular interest.
  1. Those Tiger Feet
  2. The Glancing Queen
  3. Hazzaar
