Forecasts

Fox Leicester (15/8), Leroy Leroy (13/2), Alkaamel (8/1), Brian Epstein (8/1), Victory Command (9/1), Certain Lad (10/1), Global Warning (10/1), Blonde Warrior (12/1), Pogo (14/1), Mordred (16/1)

Verdict

A tricky race to finish day one of the Guineas meeting. Alkaamel has been mightily consistent and while he's found one too good on each of his last two starts, he can be expected to run well again with trainer William Haggas capable of eking out more improvement from him. Mordred may come on for his reappearance and ran well here last season but preference is for POGO who shaped well on his return at Newcastle recently.
  1. Pogo
  2. Alkaamel
  3. Mordred
