Forecasts

Queen's Soldier (10/3), Hermocrates (4/1), Foresee (6/1), Ignatius (13/2), Peace Prevails (7/1), Ideal Grace (8/1), Hatsaway (10/1), Esspeegee (12/1), Amangiri (12/1), Il Sicario (14/1), Rainbow Jazz (16/1), Muraaqeb (20/1), Onomatopoeia (33/1)

Verdict

In a race where it appeals to look towards the bottom of the weights, HERMOCRATES looks to have the standout form based on his narrow Bath second and the gelding operation could help the three-year-old progress further. Foresee is an interesting contender based on his encouraging reappearance - where the wind operation has seemingly helped - and is entitled to improve for that run, while Queen's Soldier has been consistent but usually finds one or two too good.
  1. Hermocrates
  2. Foresee
  3. Queen's Soldier
