Forecasts

Southern France (15/8), Latrobe (5/2), Twilight Payment (7/1), Masaff (10/1), Western Australia (10/1), The King (12/1), Raa Atoll (14/1), Mustajeer (14/1), Cimeara (25/1), Heaven On Earth (50/1)

Verdict

He may have struggled in a tactically-run Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot, but SOUTHERN FRANCE is still the pick on his second to Stradivarius over this trip in the Yorkshire Cup, and he should bounce back in this weaker race. Latrobe would be a danger if finding the form which saw him finish second in the Irish St Leger over C&D, while Masaff was third to Madhmoon and Broome as a juvenile, and should improve for his return behind Western Australia at Navan.
  1. Southern France
  2. Latrobe
  3. Masaff
