Forecasts

Broome (2/5), Sovereign (7/1), Rakan (7/1), Buckhurst (16/1), Guaranteed (20/1), Pythion (20/1), Blenheim Palace (33/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last 10 renewals and he's highly likely to add to that fine record with Broome the clear pick of his trio. The leading Derby hope can continue his build up to the Classics following a seemingly effortless and dominant win in the Ballysax. Stablemate Sovereign got involved in setting a strong pace there, that didn't help Guaranteed, and along with likely pacemaker Blenheim Palace, they should ensure a strong pace again for their stablemate. Pythion remains lightly-raced and could place again . Buckhurst won on debut and will appreciate the extra trip while Rakan, for another stable with a good record here, may be the one to chase the favourite home.
